- An early season (maybe too early?) ski along the Palouse to Cascades (aka Iron Horse, John Wayne) trail. We will ski for about 3 hours, so we may not end up skiing the full length of Keechelus Lake.
- While this is an easy ski, there will not be any instruction, so this is not appropriate for a first-time cross-country skier. You should be comfortable with diagonal stride. Please note the pace of ~3 mph.
- Classic skis only.
- In your permission request:
- Indicate how long you've been cross-country skiing
