Nordic ski finds snow out-of-state

The North Shore Storm Nordic Ski Team spent two nights and three days skiing in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near Ironwood, Michigan last week. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced skiers were all out for hours every morning and afternoon, and evenings were spent together in the lodge.

As north shore skiers normally are not on trails until mid-December at the earliest, this gave the skiers a “leg up” from their usual fitness and skill level for the beginning of the season. They report that it was “really fun,” and a great use of the annual wreath-selling fundraiser that they completed in November.
