Solstice Tree Tour
NSAA hosts the Solstice Tree Tour today. This involves people walking to the Mize Loop to set up decorations. There will be a walking lane off the course - but please be aware of the non ski traffic. The first race of the day is at 10am in an effort to be done as early as possible. Ski fast everyone!
