Through a joint partnership between Wausau Nordic Ski Club and Marathon County at 9 Mile County Forest the ski lesson, Equipment, and trail pass will be provided free toyou.
We welcome and can work with a range of abilities and experience. Our volunteers are there for you and will help you learn to be comfortable on skis and enjoy the beautiful winter landscape. Come and give it a try!
Bring your enthusiasm and stick-to-itiveness - water and good gloves. You will warm up while skiing so please wear layers. You will need less clothing than if you were hiking.
You do not. Marathon County has waived the rental fee for the evening for those signed up for the program.
By becoming a member of Wausau Nordic, you can rent the equipment from the ski club at $50 plus Club Membership for the whole season as sizing and supply permits.Go to: wausaunordic.org
Good question, we have found that people sign-up for the whole season and then don’t show up! As there is limited room this prevents others from experiencing the opportunity. We open registration the day following the lesson night for the next class.
Please don’t sign up until you are sure that you will attend other than for an illness or emergency. It deprives others of the opportunity.
Please contact us so we can offer your spot to another. However last minute cancellations are difficult for us to refill.
Yes, if Snow conditions are not suitable, and in extreme weather conditions. However, it is a winter sport so we do have classes on cold and windy evenings.
Marathon County and of course the volunteers of Wausau Nordic Ski Club!
