Itinerary:

This event is for those who just recently learned how to XC ski. We'll be spending about 4-5 hours on green runs at a slow pace.

Experienced xc skiers who want to come down and help us noobs are welcome. However if your intention is to come along and take off on your own after that, please don't come; join another group.

Lunch will be in a heated room with tables. The Pocaterra hut has a nice indoor fireplace & is at the beginning of the Pocaterra Trail.

You should have done at least an intro class on how to XC ski or equivalent before signing up for this. There won't be enough time to teach anyone how to XC ski from the beginning.

Skis can be rented from the UofC outdoor centre or MEC if you don't have them.
