Come explore Maine’s winter splendor at Merrymeeting Fields Preserve on Nordic skis and snowshoes. On Saturday, February 15, participants are welcome to join skiers and snowshoers at the Merrymeeting Preserve in Woowich. Skiing and snowshoeing starts at 11:00 pm and includes instruction, hot cocoa, and adventure!
This event is being held thanks to a collaboration between Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, Phippsburg Sportsman’s Association and MYSO - Maine Youth Sports Opportunities.
Chuck Mainville of MYSO-Maine Youth Sports Opportunities, a Nordic skiing program for area families, will be on hand to lead the cross country skiers. The fields and nearby paths sport gentle slopes and a variety of trail lengths to make the perfect location to learn and to improve cross country ski skills.
Novice to experienced skiers and snowshoers are welcome, and registration is required. There is a limited supply of Nordic equipment and snowshoes to loan for children and adults- not all fits are available. Please include at registration if equipment is desired (boot size, height, and weight are needed to borrow ski equipment).
