Ski Club! This past Thursday Mr. LaFond hosted an informational meeting for anyone who is interested in being a member of ski club. Mr. Lafond’s goals’ for ski club were simply to get out and try something new this winter. Ski club is hoping to meet two or three days a week after school and one or two Saturday’s a month. Skiing will occur on the bike trail and back on the Grindstone reservoir when conditions are safe. If transportation is available, the ski club would like to go to Mora’s Vasaloppet area. The Vasaloppet ski area has snow makers so trails are always ready to go in Mora. Mr. LaFond is also looking for volunteers to help build trails in the Hinckley-Finlayson school forest. The forest is located behind the baseball field. The hope is to clear enough land so between 1 mile and 1.5 miles of trail can be ski-able once the snow flies! Trail building will be occurring after schools up until there is snow on the ground. No skis? No problem! Mr. Lafond is working to secure a number of skis for students to use and the school has a number of sets of skis to borrow. Mr. Lafond also advertised a ski swap occurring in Mora this Sunday where used skiing equipment would be made for sale. Students who are interested in joining ski club should see Mr. Lafond. Announcements for the club will be posted on Schoology. Let’s hope for snow soon so this club can get underway.
