Clarenville Nordic Ski Club
This upcoming "Back to ski Weekend" is the big kick off to the new season. This is a weekend especially designed for new and newer skiers and will consist of membership registration, a general advice and information clinic, on snow instructional ski clinics, an introductory tour and a social. The weekend is also a go...od opportunity for past members to get in the swing of things and improve their technique. The club is fortunate in having a number of qualified instructors who offer their services for free.
On Friday evening, January 9th from 6:00 to 8:00 at the Clarenville Inn we have registration for adults and junior skiers. At 8:00 we will have an information session about the club and a meet and greet. Following that, Harry O'Gay will be putting off a waxing clinic. This clinic is quite useful for all beginners, and even if you have skied for a while but are not confident about what waxes you should be using, this may help. We encourage you to drop by and register on this evening if you have not already done so.
As for the junior skiers it is very important that they register by Friday, January the 9th. As you can appreciate, there is some organizing that we need to do for the junior skiers in terms of dividing them into groups etc. Therefore, we need to get the numbers and some idea of the children's skiing experience as soon as possible. We have already met earlier in the year to plan the activities.
We intend to have activities for the children on Saturday mornings starting at 11:00. The first session will be Saturday, January the 10th. This session will allow a little lesson and give the leaders a chance to meet the children and the children can meet each other. We also give some basic instructions about equipment, technique etc. There may also be an opportunity do a little sliding, have a lunch and have a little campfire. So bring a lunch and something you can roast on the fire if you want.
On Saturday, January 10th at 10:30 a.m. there will be an instructional clinic at the Nordic Meadow at the White Hills. For more information contact June Mills at 466-7807.
There will also be a skating clinic on Saturday at 10:30 led by Blaine Pearce. Meet at the Chalet.
On Saturday. January 10th at 2:30 there will be a tour. The scheduled route is a 3.5 km tour around Harry's Loop. Everyone will meet at the Lee Churchill Chalet. After the tour there will be a Back to Ski Social at the Lee Churchill Chalet with delicious soup for everyone.
In the event of bad weather or poor conditions, the registration and information session on Friday night will go ahead as will the soup on Saturday. The latest info will be given out Friday night at the information session.
On Sunday, January 11th, at 2:00 there will be an uphill and downhill clinic at the White Hills Ski Resort. Meet at the Chalet. If you can make it Friday night you should be able to get the latest info. If you have already registered then simply meet us at the scheduled times.
