We will aim to do the Viking Loop twice, which gives good practice on groomed hills to practice uphill and downhill techniques. Depending on the group, there are options to shorten to 1.5 loops. We will keep a moderate pace and adjust for the group. The aim is to be back at the cars by 7:30pm. It will get dark, so a headlamp is advised.
Leader's permission required. Priority to the students in the Everett Nordic Ski Class. If you don't have the ski badge or are not currently enrolled in a course, please fill out the "Leader's permission" form with a description of your prior cross-country ski experience. This trip is not suitable for first-time cross-country skiers.

If folks want to carpool, we can meet at the Transit Center in Issaquah. A snow park pass is required, so that could be a good option to share. I can take two people.
