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.
