31 Jan 2018

Join fellow skiers for a moonlight ski. Jan 31 is the snow moon (normally in Feb but this year on Jan 31) so what better time to enjoy a nightime ski at Kawartha Nordic. Meet at 7pm at the Woodfine Chalet. The group will plan the route.

Snow in the forecast today so skiing should be improved, but the clouds and snow may hide the moon, so bring your headlamp.

** Sadly the Double Double is cancelled for 2018. Trails are open but with the thin base along Beaver and lower Trillium and the forecasted freezing rain/rain on Sunday, organizers have decided to cancel the DD this year. 

The 2018 Double Double will be held on Sunday, February 25, 2018. Come challenge yourself in the Kawartha Nordic Skiathlon! You set your own goal whether it be the Double-Double or Medium Regular.
