<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I try to avoid being a little league parent at
sailing, but it's hopeless with xc skiing. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Registration for MN Youth Ski League is now open
for the winter. If you'd like your kids to do some xc skiing, this is a great
program. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Programs vary from one xc ski area to the
next, but typically programs are a few hours long one day per week, parents can
be involved or not, and cost is around $25 per kid for the
winter. Classes are organized by skill, so your kids will fit in if
they are shufflers or high speed skaters. Ages range from 4 (we snuck Avalon in
at 3) to 16. These are not racing classes, although it's a great base to start
with if your kids eventually go that direction. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically it's a fun couple hours with the kids. We
bring a lunch and do it as a family at Baker Park on Sunday afternoons in
January and February. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you have kids and would like to join, we'd
love to see you out there. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please contact me if
you have any questions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
