What:

Highly accomplished skier, Olympic coach, and maker of the only US-based ski pole company, Andy Liebner will lead our annual season kick-off ski clinic on Saturday, December 5th. The good news is that you don't have to be an Olympian to learn a ton from Andy, as he is a great coach for all levels, and has helped many skiers of all abilities improve their technique. He is a huge supporter of cross country skiing in Michigan. There will be a skate clinic from 10:00am – 12:00pm, and a classic clinic from 1:00pm – 3:00pm. If there is no snow, we will run a dry-land clinic, so either way, snow or not, be sure to attend and get some truly excellent coaching on your technique! The cost of the clinic is $25/session or both for $40. Pre-register by calling 1.800.832.2663 or emailing [email protected]

After the ski clinic is our annual wax clinic at 4:00pm. This year, Fast Wax founder Dan Meyer will be giving the clinic, which will be highly informative and of interest to both racers and recreational skiers. He will go over waxing technique for skating and classic, and will also highlight some key products from increasingly popular, USA-based wax company. There is no charge for this clinic.

The XC SKI HQ Team dinner follows the wax clinic, beginning at 6pm. Come join the 2004, '07, '08, '09, '10 '13, '14, and 2015 Michigan Cup Champions (also the '10, '11 and 2013 Brumbaugh Cup Champions) in our annual kick-off potluck dinner, where we'll introduce new team members, review last year's performance, and strategize on how to bring home the MI and Brumbaugh Cups in 2016. Other topics will include technique, team training dates, and upcoming race info.

This event always ends up being a lot of fun, so even if you think you might only do one race this season, you are invited to come and enjoy this annual gathering of the most fun-loving skiers in Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Don’t forget, we are very welcoming to new team members! Our team spans a wide range of age and ability, and members are always willing to help out fellow skiers.
