Retro Ski – Sunday February 5, 2017
Jay sports proper retro-skiing garb. Woolies are optional, but recommended!
NEW THIS YEAR!
Introducing: “The Maasto Churning Grand Traverse”.
Skiers will meet at the Tomasi trailhead at 12:30 and head out for some fun backcountry skiing.
The route: We’ll start blazing trail almost right away, heading through the woods down to our Swedetown Creek fording spot. Next we’ll make our way to and over Ruby Marsh in Churning Rapids, then past the tower. We’ll glide on down Pow Pow and Finney Creek trail, then hit the groomed track to the Christensen Rd trail head.
The reward: After making all those tracks, we’ll retire to a local restaurant of the group’s choice for beverages and food. Plus smart talk and excellent stories, inspired by our epic ski!
Never done a “retro ski”? If you’ve got wood skis, bamboo poles, knickers and wool clothing – perfect! You’ll be stylin’. If you’ve got modern equipment and clothing – don’t let that stop you from joining the group. All skiers are welcome regardless of ability or equipment.
