Outdoor Parents: Nordic Ski Day

Have you passed by the Weston Ski Track again and again, intrigued by the snow, but nervous to give Nordic (Cross Country) skiing a try? Have you gone XC skiing a few times, but always hesitate because you don't have your own gear? Or maybe, you are a long-time Nordic skier and you're looking for other families to get outside with?

Then this event is for you!

The Outdoor Parents interest group is hosting a Nordic ski event at the Weston Ski Track open to WMF members and their families. There are a variety of ways to take part including the option to sign up for a lesson, rent gear, and a chance to mix and mingle over coffee and treats with other families in the lodge. Sign up for the option that suits your family best! More information below:

Where: Weston Ski Track (Leo J Martin) 190 Park Rd, Weston, MA 02493

When: February 26th, 2023 from 9:30am to 12pm (lesson begins at 10am sharp!)

Who: Open to all members and their families Please register for each member of your family who will be attending (children under 2 are free and do not need to register):

• Ski Pass only (adult): $18
• Ski Pass only (child 2-16): $8
• Ski Lesson add-on (adult only): $37 (plus ski pass)

Things to note:

• The ski pass is good for the entire day, so if you'd like to stay past noon, or leave and come back later the same day, you're more than welcome to!
• The lesson is one hour and will begin at 10am. It is available for adults only. Due to space constraints, please register for a ski pass, and in your registration, let us know if you are interested in an adult lesson (capped at 2 per member). A WMF admin will get back to you to confirm that there's space and send you an invoice for an additional $37 or to put you on a waitlist. If you are interested in a lesson for a child, please reach out and we'll see what we can do!
• Rentals will be available when you arrive. Skis, snowshoes, boots and poles can all be rented. Touring skis and Skate skis are both available. Adaptive ski equipment can also be rented. (paid separately out of pocket)
• Pulk Child Carriers (sleds) to pull small children behind you while you ski are available for rental when you arrive. This may be challenging for novice skiers. (paid separately out of pocket)
