For more information, contact Art Anderson at 638-1286. Nordic ski trips are set up by Art Anderson, our Nordic Coordinator and an expert cross country skier. Persons interested in signing up for Nordic trips may do so beginning October 21st at the Cheyenne Ski Club Chili Supper. Planning meetings for XC trips are held during the club meeting prior to the trip.  This allows everyone to get directions, arrange food purchases, carpooling and other details.
