February 29 ski, only every 4 years

This is a Nordic Ski, something new for the club. So I'll give a lot of info. 

Nordic Skiing is defined as the lite, fast and race side of cross country skiing. This is the definition by the governing bodies and used by clubs, some online definitions are not accurate. Nordic can be Classic or Skate technique. A great winter activity for Intermediate and Advanced riders.

For this trip we'll meet at the daylodge far end at 10 ready to ski. Arrive by 930, especially if you are waxing. All skis should be glide waxed prior. We'll ski about 2.5 hr then eat in the lodge.

Here are a few clues about what is Nordic. Analagous to Road biking, Cross country is more like mountain biking. Track set only, stretchy clothes (no snowmobile suits), hip pack or small hydration pack to carry the minimum ( some hot water, a snack, and a bit of wax), Nordic race or performance skis less than 50mm width, poles with a separate thumb loop on the strap and a small half basket, gloves or lobster mitts.

This one is a ski for those with some experience and who have the gear. I'm hoping to offer an intro day soon.

Let's see if we can add Nordic to all the great club activities.
