Full Moon Luminary XC Community Ski Party

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - 6:30pm - 9:30pm

Mt. Ashwabay Ski & Recreation Area, Bayfield Regional Conservancy, and Northland College’s XC Club are teaming up to celebrate the full moon and the much delayed arrival of winter!  Come on up to Mt. Ashwabay on Tuesday, Feb. 7th for a moonlight ski.  Northland XC Club will be lighting the Sugarbush Trail out to the Nourse Sugar Shack with luminaries(approximately 4k each way).  The BRC will be hosting a potluck, so bring your favorite post-skiing snack to share.  Mt. Ashwabay is waving the trail fee for the evening(normally $10/adults, $8/JR’s & SR’s), and lighting fires in the Chalet and T-Bar to warm-up by after you’re done.  Hot, cold, and adult beverages will be available for purchase as well.  Our rental fleet is available if you need skis, and the Northland XC Club will be willing to give you some friendly pointers if you ask for them.  Snowshoers are also welcome, but asked to stay off the groomed classic track.  Snow, friends, fire, and the full moon.  What more could you ask for?
