Representatives from several Nordic ski clubs have started some continuing conversations about issues facing ski clubs in this age of problematic snow (and covid). This page is a place for us to put up a few links to follow during our conversations. Are you part of another club that would like to join our discussions? Send an email to Pete at ski@tryonhayes.com

Clubs in the discussions:

• CASTA – Capital Area Ski Touring Association (Albany, New York)
• Oregon Nordic Club PORTLAND CHAPTER (Portland, Oregon)
• NNSC – Nooksack Nordic Ski Club (Bellingham, Washington)
• Nordic Ski Club of Milwaukee (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
• North Star Ski Touring Club (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Suggestions for January (or some other month…) meeting:

• Each club discuss 2-4 destination ski areas popular with their club members. Plan on sharing pictures and maps on Zoom meeting. Pete can help prepare materials if wanted.
• Each club discuss one thing they are doing (or would like to do) to help popularize Nordic skiing. Example: Nordic Ambassadors
• Each club show a map and a couple of pictures of their ‘local’ ski trail.

General Membership Meeting Topics

• Might some of these be opened to all members of ‘consortium clubs’?
• Avalanche Awareness
• What to think about when shopping for cross-country skis
• Avenza Mapping App on Nordic Ski Trails
• Cross-country skiing during the Winter of Covid. A participatory slideshow! This was fun for our club’s last meeting last year – it could be even more fun with national participation!
