The Cook County youth ski league (Y-Ski) gives kids a chance to learn how to cross country ski in a fun, family environment at Pincushion Mountain.
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 – 3:00 p.m. at the Pincushion Mountain Trail System starting in January.
There is an optional session for the kids in the advanced group on Tuesdays after school until 5:00 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, please!)
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. Discounts may be available for families who volunteer with the program.
Rental equipment will be distributed on sign up day. Kids will also receive a Cook County Y-Ski hat for first time sign up when the season begins.
