The North Superior Ski and Run Club sponsors a Youth Ski League (Y-Ski) every year to encourage kids to learn and love the lifetime sport of cross country skiing. Another year of ski fun for kids and families will be here soon.
Y-Ski is held on Sunday afternoons, from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pincushion Mountain Trail System starting in January. There is an optional session for the kids in the advanced groups on Tuesdays after school until 5 p.m.
Y-Ski is a fun, family environment where kids learn the sport of Nordic skiing in an atmosphere of games, group activities and skiing the wonderful trails at Pincushion. Y-Ski is designed for kids from kindergarten through 6th grade – all ability levels are welcomed and accommodated. (Kindergartners need to bring a full-time adult helper.)
Y-Ski is also affordable. The fee is only $20 per child, with each additional child only $10. The North Superior Ski and Run Club (NSSRC) has a wide selection of children’s skis, boots and poles available for rent for the entire winter for a nominal fee of $25 (or $35 for those wanting both skate and classic skis). There is a $100 deposit required per set of equipment rented that will be returned at the end of the season when the equipment is checked back in. I would like to offer a full discount (equipment deposit still required) to any family with a parent(s)/guardian that will participate weekly as a group leader or group assistant. We will issue rental equipment on sign up day. Kids will also receive a Cook County Y-Ski hat for first time sign up when the season begins.
The equipment rental is for participants of the Y-Ski program.
Y-Ski begins January 8 and runs through February 26. We have a variety of activities including a field trip, special events and a fun kids race.
It will only take a few minutes to sign up and receive all your gear. If you have any questions please call Mike Crook/ Patty Johnson at 370- 9949/370-0392 or e-mail mrcrook@hotmail.com/ patjj@hotmail.com.
