Gunstock Nordic Center INTERMEDIATE
Details
Will cancel if weather or conditions are poor.
After a fantastic first outing, Seacoast XC skiers are at it again-- this time at Gunstock Mountain Resort! Read about the resort here.
We will meet inside the nordic center which is to the right as you enter the resort. I will give details on how to find us when we get closer to the event. Please arrive at the time posted or I cannot guarantee we will be able to find you.
We will plan on classic skiing however if several people wish to skate ski we can organize a sub-group. This is an INTERMEDIATE level event. There will NOT be lessons of any type. We ask that you have at least one year of cross country skiing experience so we can keep everyone together and safe. If you like to ski fast and still want to join, let a leader know. If we get enough people, we may break into a "faster" group and a "slower" group.
You may want to pack a lunch/trail food. Some group members may get food/drinks at a restaurant on the way home.
Please see below for a handy checklist of items to bring. This list was adapted from this REI page.
If a leader determines you are unprepared you may be asked to leave
Please read the disclaimer and description below.
