Nordic ski lessons still open

Ironically, the Nordic ski lesson registration at Spirit Mountain had to be postponed Sunday. The new time to register and get fitted for equipment is 4:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11. Register online at http://www.duluthxc.com; click “programs” and then “other local programs.”

The Nordic Spirit Youth Ski League offers cross country ski lessons at Spirit Mountain Nordic Center for kids 5-14 years old at an affordable price, with great volunteer teachers and ski equipment if needed. Ski lessons begin Sunday, Jan. 5 for six weeks. Have questions or want to volunteer? Call 218-626-2532 or email [email protected].

Another good place for young skiers to learn is the Cloquet Ski Club, which held its registration last month at the Pine Valley chalet. Check out its Facebook page @CloquetSkiClub for more information, or contact Pat Marciniak at 218-269-2948.
