XCSkiing @ Blue Mounds (Sat. 12/19)

From: Ned Rubert krubert@wisc.edu
-------------------

I will be leading a XC ski trip to Blue Mounds SP (~45 min drive from downtown Madison) on Saturday 12/19. No previous XC skiing experience needed to go on this trip. To go, just meet at Park St. Circle at 9 AM, bring some cash for gas (~$5/person), a trail pass if you don't have one (~$4) and however much you want to spend on dinner at the Grumpy Troll (~$15 recommended). Bring a snack, water bottle and plenty of warm clothing. We'll get whatever skiing equipment we need from Hoofers, then drive to Blue Mounds SP and ski from ~10:30 AM until around 4 PM, and then grab dinner on the way back to Madison. If we have a mix of skill levels, I'll plan on giving a ski lesson and spend 1-2 h leading on the easier trails, and then split off after that for a more aggressive trek.
