“Save the Date” for the 2016 Glide N Gorge – Saturday, February 27!

The annual Glide N Gorge is held at the Maasto Hiihto Ski trails in Hancock. It will begin and end at the Four Seasons Chalet located at the fairgrounds in Hancock.

There will be 3 stops along the way with food donated by many gracious sponsors.  A marked course will guide you to tasty Hors D’Oeuvres.  Kids of all ages can even roast marshmallows by the fire.

Next you will descend along the Swedetown creek on one of the prettiest trails in the Keweenaw!  You can check out the new Middle Bridge that we worked hard on all year!!  There will be club members/volunteers down in the gorge waiting to serve you piping hot chili and soups galore right beside the creek.  Next is the climb up Sisu hill and back to the chalet where you will be rewarded for your climbing efforts with delectable desserts and live music.

The course is approximately 3 miles.

Tickets will be $20 and can be purchased from Down Wind Sports in Houghton and Cross Country Sports in Calumet or any KNSC board member.  For more information, please call 906-281-5294 or email cjsilvola@chartermi.net
