Events
We're heading into the winter season, time to grab the Nordic skis and snowshoes from storage and put away the shorts and bring out the winter gear. Are your Nordic skis looking a little dry? Fuzzy on the bottom? Time for a wax job. Come to one of our Wax Clinics and learn how you can be your own tech. It's not as hard as you may think it is, we will show you 'how to" do it yourself.

Nordic Wax Clinics $10The base of all cross-country skis is made from materials designed to repel water. Over time, they lose that ability - in order to maintain the base of the skis and to increase the efficiency of the skis water repellency, it is essential to wax them. If you ever see the bases of your skis looking slightly white the base has oxidized, and no amount of waxing can return it. To prevent that, make sure you wax your skis at least every 4-5 times you ski. In these clinics we will show you how to do it yourself an save time and money

Coast Outdoors P'ayakenstutThe Coast Outdoors P’ayakentsut, or “Payak” for short, is truly an event for all ages and all levels of cross country skiers. Traversing Olympic legacy trails as well as old growth forests, the loppet offers participants a chance to train, to meet new friends, to enjoy the rugged wild beauty of the Callaghan Valley, and to enjoy a what is truly a sport for life – cross country skiing. It’s a toss up whether skiers will lose their breath on the climb up out of the Olympic stadium, or from gasping at the breathtaking views of Black Tusk and the Brandywine mountain range.
In addition to the loppets for youth and adults, the shorter Payak mini allows kids to participate in a shorter event suited to their abilities.
