The skiers in the Lollipop division were the first to race, with Dominick Desalle first across the finish line in the 500m course with a time of :2:28.. 2nd place went to shaylah Kilroy with a :3:47 finish. 3rd place went to Raegan Lyle, finishing in :4:06. Also finishing the race with great style were Dalton Viger and Emery Black. 

In the Junior Mints division, Nora Haynes sprinted to the gold with a time of :8:03. Maddy Brown was the second older skier to stride to the finish, crossing the line in :8:55. Chloe Brown was third with a :8:58 finish. Sophia Souza had a great time of  :9:33. Nora Brown was next across the line, finishing in :10:43. Right behind her was Isla Haynes at :10:46. Also skiing a great race were Addicu Bailey-Curry, Bretton Arsenault, Ainsley Black.

After the race, each skier was given a goodie bag as a reward for the effort and dedication. We are already excited about growing this program next winter.

Conditions were great! We can’t wait to go back!

Thanks for a great first day of XC Ski fun on January 10th..

Also, thanks for your cooperation with the equipment pass out and following COVID-19 safe practices!  The wind prevented us from our original set up plan, but you all made it work!  Our order of donated little poles just arrived from Rossignol and we switched some of the bigger kids poles, along with a few pairs of boots, so hopefully everyone will be fitted better!
 
We started off for our soft beginning with seventeen skiers, ages 4-12, and for some it was their first time skiing, everyone did great!!!  We also had four coaches and several parent and grandparent helpers which made it work!  
We really hope to ski again on Sunday... you will receive an email Sunday morning with details if we can still ski, because as you likely have all heard, there WILL (100 percent) be precipitation on Saturday.
 
Of course, we want that to be SNOW so we can set a track and maybe even ski in the woods!  However, depending on temperature it could also be the “R” word, and we don’t want it to be that to wash away our two-inch deep cover in the stadium!
Stay tuned!
 
In the meantime if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions... please reach out via email, and if you prefer to chat, leave your phone number and we’ll call you in between snow dancing!

Chisholm Ski Club's Youth Cross Country Ski Program

New this year! This 8 week program is part of the New England Nordic Ski Association Bill Koch League & began on Sunday, January 10th. It is designed for the youngest of cross country skiers to learn the sport, build community & most importantly to have FUN!

Broken down into two age groups, the Lollipop Group (ages 7 & under) & the Junior Mints (ages 8 & older), this game-focused program fosters & early love of the lifetime sport of cross country skiing.

The group meets every Sunday from 1:00pm-3:00pm (except for Super Bowl Sunday-Feb 7th). March 7th is the last day of the program & will feature small fun races & a celebration. 

Several groups, the Chisholm Ski Club, ski shops as well as Black Mountain of Maine and some generous private donations were made to make this program not only possible, but free of charge. The program is entirely run by volunteers, so if you are interested in helping out, either on skis or on foot, please contact: This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Chisholm Ski Club is a 501c3 Corporation promoting affordable skiing in the River Valley.

Thank you Volunteers
