2014 – 2015 Season Kickoff Meeting

Join your fellow Madison Nordic Ski Club members AND members of the Hoofers cross country ski club on Monday evening, Oct. 13, starting at 6:45 p.m. at Memorial Union. We have confirmed that the room will be Tripp Commons. Parking is available next door in the ramp beneath Helen C. White Library on the UW–Madison campus. We’ll be serving pizza and snacks.

After renewing your membership (please!), you’ll be treated to an exciting evening of firsts including:

· A presentation by Amy Rowley, development director of the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation, who will share some exciting plans about efforts to secure the permanent start area at Telemark and some groundbreaking changes at the finish line. We will be the first to hear the latest details!

· Remarks by our friends, the UW–Madison Hoofers skiers, who are interested in participating in some of our races and possible trips.

· Wait – did you say trips? Yes! In response to numerous requests, we have at least one group trip planned and possibly more to come!

· We’ll also hear from the organizers of a new racing team geared to high school and possibly other students who live East of the Isthmus and beyond.

· Plus, you’ll get an update on our trail and grooming plans!

Also, remember that our annual ski swap event will be bigger and better than ever this year. MadNorSki will partner with Fontana for the swap event during the weekend of November 1. The swap will be held at the Fontana store’s parking lot on the far West side.

Finally, the Nov. 10 club meeting will feature the Vendor Fair. To learn more, visit our website, madnorski.org, and please join us this coming Monday at Memorial Union!
