Hardwick Trails Ski Program: Important Advanced Sign-up Notice

Posted on January 29, 2026January 29, 2026 By Hardwick Trails
Events

Sunshine and a good covering of new fluffy snow will greet those who would like to try out, or to improve their cross-country skiing skills at the Hardwick Trails this Saturday! Head to the cabin behind Hazen by 9:00 AM to pick up your free equipment loan and then join in a lesson at 9:15 to hone your skiing skills. Alternately, join in multi-generational games on skis at 10:00 for a good dose of fun as you challenge your skiing abilities. Maybe consider doing both!!
An advanced sign-up is requested to ensure that we have adequate staffing for these two offerings. You can note on this same form if you would like to have a guide to explore the wooded trails from 10:00-11:00.
Here is the direct link to the form:  Ski Program Sign Up . There is also a link on the Hardwick Trails web site at www.hardwicktrails.com or on our Facebook page (Hardwick Trails). This form should be completed no later than noontime on Friday.
On Saturday morning, check our website or Facebook page for confirmation of our offerings, which will be based on the sign-up responses.
As always, those who simply would like to be outfitted to explore the trails on their own can pick up equipment between 9:00 and 11:00 AM at the Hazen Cabin. Hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies will greet you upon your return!

What beats hot cocoa and a home made chocolate chip cookie at the end of a morning of delightful x-country skiing? Not much!! Ever wonder how nordic skiing might add to your enjoyment of winter, or become an exciting new family pursuit? Perhaps you already know how much fun nordic skiing is, but wish you could improve your skills?

Head to the cabin behind Hazen for the Hardwick Trails “Loan and Lesson” program, this Saturday, January 17. Pick up your loaner equipment at 9:00 AM, and join a 9:15 lesson with two instructors. Note: Young children must be accompanied by an adult.

Saturday morning at 10:00 AM we are hosting multi-generational games for the community – on skis! This is a wonderful way to have fun together, while honing your nordic skiing skills. If you need an equipment loan for this activity, be fully outfitted at the cabin behind Hazen. We have skis, boots and poles for the littlest of you (really!) up to tall adult sizes.

If you have mastered some skiing skills and want to try them out on the trails, email http://hardwicktrails.com by this Friday, January 16 at noon and we will recruit a volunteer guide to show you around.

In case of extreme cold, or poor snow conditions we may elect to cancel a Saturday session. For any question regarding the weather or trail conditions, please check the “Hardwick Trails” Facebook page or our web site (https://hardwicktrails.com) before heading to the cabin.

We welcome all folks from our neighboring communities, so if you can repost this notice outside of the Hardwick/Walden FPF, please consider doing so!
