(Non-members will be required to sign a waiver before taking part.) Bring your families to try the trails 1 km. east of Hepworth.

There will be guided tours of both the cross-country ski trails and snowshoe trails, as well as basic ski lessons if requested. After the activities, warm up by the bonfire. Soup and other goodies will be for sale in support of local racer Julian Smith.
