Family Ski at KVR Saturday

Join us Saturday morning at the KVR Visitor Center for a fun family ski from 10:00 to noon.  You can bring a dish to pass and have lunch afterward.  It should be a nice day.  I'll be teaching ski lessons at 1:00 pm; ask at the Visitor Center if there are spots left.  There is a small fee for the lessons and skiers will need a KVR pass to ski in the morning (annual family passes are only $30).

 

 

It was a tight fit, but we got the trails groomed after the snow

and had a great time skiing on Wednesday!

 

 

Viroqua Hills Golf Course is freshly groomed (for skating only) and looks awesome, too. 

Get out and enjoy the fresh snow while we have it!

Practice Today

Yes, there will be practice today, regardless of school delays or closure.  Conditions will be soft. 

If there are problems getting the trails groomed, I will post an update before noon. 

So plan on skiing this afternoon.  Dress for the wind and dropping temps.

Family Ski Day Feb 6 at KVR

Join us this Saturday, February 6th, for a family ski outing at Kickapoo Valley Reserve.  We will meet at the Visitor Center and ski from 10:00am to noon.  Bring a dish to pass and enjoy the pot luck lunch in the Visitor Center classroom afterward.  Families from the KVR ski club may join us.  I will be giving ski lessons at 1pm; call the KVR Visitor Center to see if there are any spots open.

I had fun skating with my speedy skiers on Wednesday.  Depending on the timing and amount of snow we get on Tuesday, it may be difficult to keep up with the grooming.  Check back on Wednesday morning for an update.

First practice today

We will have our first practice today at 3:45 at the VFW.  Please park off to the north side near the snow piles.  Kids can use the banquet room to get ready if needed.  We'll meet in the parking area for a few quick announcements and a group warm-up, then get out skiing.
See you this afternoon.

Sign-up Friday 5pm at VMH

Information and sign-up will be at 5pm Friday January 22nd in the conference room in the basement of VMH.
We are still trying to finalize the logistics for this season and should have the details at Sign-up night.  We are trying to secure the VFW for practices on Wednesday afternoons.

See you Friday!

Coming Soon: 2016 Ski Season

Greetings Skiers!  We are happy to announce that there will again be a ski program offered this year.  There will be a short presentation, Q&A and sign-up on Friday, January 22 at 5pm, probably at VMH.  Bluedog will have rental skis available for pick-up at their shop after the sign-up.

We are finalizing the details, but plan to have the practices on Friday afternoons (3:30 - 5:00pm).  The first practice will be on Friday, January 29 and we will try to have 5 practices this year.  Practices will likely be in the Viroqua area.  We plan to also offer one or two 'Family Ski Outings' at a nearby trail.

I wanted to get the news on your radar... stand by for more details in the coming days.

Hazardous Weather Outlook

I'm afraid that we lost a bunch of snow today and will lose more tomorrow.  I can't guarantee that we will be able to ski Monday afternoon.  Best to bring some jogging shoes/snow boots as a back-up plan.  See you tomorrow!
