Classic skiing at Wolfeboro BEGINNER

Will cancel if weather or conditions are poor.

After a disappointing winter, the Seacoast (or close to it) is finally getting some SNOW!

Wolfeboro Cross Country Ski Association is one of my favorite ski areas located within an hour of Portsmouth, NH. My plan is to host a beginner level ski in the morning, and an advanced level ski in the afternoon.

Beginner level means you are newer to skiing but still comfortable skiing safely in a group. There will NOT be a ski lesson. If you cannot ski safely with the group you will be asked to leave in order to keep everyone else safe. I would recommend this trip for anyone who feels COMFORTABLE on skis but doesn't feel comfortable keeping up with more advanced skiers.

DAY PASSES AND SEASON PASSES ARE PURCHASED AT NORDIC SKIER HEADQUARTERS OF WOLFEBORO XC SKI ASSOC. 47 NORTH MAIN ST. WOLFEBORO

We will meet at the NORDIC CENTER at 9:00am. Please note the TRAILHEAD is NOT located at the nordic center where rentals are. We will have to meet at the rental center and then DRIVE to the trailhead, which is just a few min away.

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
