| Nordic Lodge Offering |

Cross-Country Skiing

‘The first session of Nordic
Lodge's ski lessons held lust
Sunday has been pronounced
‘highly successful’ by Nordic
sports director, Ivar Reins-
hakken,

About 35-40 lesson-seckers
turned oul at the outset of
these classes on cross-country
technique and ski-touring. They
were grecled by instruclors
and other members of Nordic
Lodge, as well as the beautiful
bright sunlight at Nancy
Greene Lake,

_ The instructors were Ivar
Reinsbakken, Conrad Braltebo
and Arne Reinsbakken, with
back-up from several other
Lodge members. The students
covered a wide range of ages
and previous skiing experience,

The class began with a dis-
cussion of general principles
with particular emphasis on the
various waxes and their use.
Smaller groups then set out
with Uheir instructors and spent
the rest of the afternoon in
informal instruction on the lake

and generally enjoying the out-
1

doors.

The proposal that the
classes be continued on a
weekly basis was. met with
enthusiasm by all participants
and it was decided to meet
again at the Lake on Jan. 16th.
Classes will also continue each
Sunday for the next month or
so. It is anticipated that the
sessions will have a strong ‘fun’
aspect, in addition to instruc-
tion.,

The lerrain of the lake
provides the best milieu for
teaching, but the organizers are
currently planning: to search
oul other trails for expeditions,
both at Nancy Greene Lake and
other: locations in the area.
There are literally hundreds of
trails, logging roads, etc., many
of which could be used with a
bit of upgrading.

For some years, Nordic
Lodge bers have di:

lives to alpine skiing. Many
members have continued ski-
touring over the years and have
sought to intreduce others to
this mode of winter sport.

In 1974, Nordic Lodge
sponsored the First Annual
Nordic Ski Race which met
with modest success, Last year,
the second ruce was held with
twice as many contestants and
was: adjudged very successful,
A third race is planned for next
month,

These races are nol ‘ap-
proved’ and it is unlikely that
hey ever will be, for the or-
ganizers wish to relain an in-
formality and appeal to skiers
al all levels of ability.

Last winter a raffle was
held to raise funds to aid in the
promotion of ski-ouring in this
area, The first step in this
program was a meeting called
in November of last year, to
assess the interest and to
permit interested persons to
meet,

It was then decided to em-
bark on a scries of free ski
lessons open lo any interested
skier. With the initial success,
there is little doubt there ‘will
continue for the remainder of
the season. Aside from the in-
struction, the sessions are
expected to provide a basis for
fun and enjoyment of the
winter outdoors in the form of
picnics, expeditions, casual
races, etc.

Nordic Lodge's sports
director, Ivar Reinsbakken,
slates that he hopes that these

classes and meetings will lead |

to an informal organization, a
sort of club open to any person,
not only members of Sons of
Norway.

Because the average cross-
country ‘skier is rather an
‘independent cuss’, such a club
would be very loosely organied,
serving’ mainly to promote, co-
ordinate and advise it’s mem-
bers of acti As such, it

the loss of interest in  ski-
touring in recent decades and
deplored the lack, of alterna-

would be fairly independent of,
although supported by, Nordic
Lodge.
