Additionally, there will be a new program run by Bonnie Weiskopf.   This afternoon program, for younger skiers (ages 13 and under),  will run alongside the older kids program, but will have the lessons  geared to the younger skier’s maturity level, keeping everything fun with lots of variation.  Kids ages 7 (or so) and over would need roller skis, those ages 6 and under would most likely just use roller blades and poles.  Meet at the same time, same place.  More info contact Mike Nightingale mike@sisuskiers.org or Bonnie Weiskopf- bonnie.weiskopf@gmail.com.
