Kidski information for 2003 Kidski returns in 2003 with a new location: we are now running it at Elver Park. Elver offers more exciting terrain, and, if there�s no snow, we can ice skate. That means we�ll be able to meet every week, unless it�s pretty warm.
Kidski is for kids ages four and up. Younger kids will play games, go on short tours, get some very low-key instruction, and enjoy the winter outdoors. Low cost ski and skate rentals are available. Preschoolers should bring their own adult, and everyone is invited to help coach. We also have something to offer older kids who want a low-key chance to ski with other kids. We�ll free ski, with occasional games, relays, and instruction. If there's fresh snow, we'll learn telemark turns on the sledding hill and maybe shovel in a few jumps. This will be the Norwegian learning-by-watching-and-doing approach. Kids wanting more of a competitive focus should consider the Silver Skis program. We just want to have fun. We do need coaches yet this year. We try to keep a low kid to coach ratio, and a desire to play with kids is vastly more important than ski knowledge or ability. We can guarantee a good time for coaches, so, if you're at all inclined, please let us know. We�ll hit the snow Wednesdays at 5:30 pm and retreat to the warming house about 6:30 pm. Program runs from January 8 through February 12, concluding with a pizza party at Rocky's the last night. Pizza will be $7.50 for adults and kids 9 or older, and $5.00 for 8 and younger. Kidski costs just $15 per kid, and first timers get a really cool ski hat�worth it for the hat alone. Call Pete Anderson (222-1928) or Kris Long (243-1923) for more information. If conditions are warm, really cold, or otherwise doubtful, call 222-1928 before driving. We�ll ice skate if there�s ice but no snow. Hope to see you.
