Youth Development Program Begins January 14th

Hello Cross Country Skiers, Parents (mostly parents of skiers!), Grandparents, Family, Friends, and Volunteers!

Thank you all for your interest in the Chisholm Ski Club (CSC) Youth Development Program (YDP) at Black Mountain of Maine (BMOM)!  We are excited to start our fourth season!  Best News!  We have SNOW!  And hopefully limited rain! 
 
Therefore, we've decided to have a "soft start" tomorrow, 
Sunday Funday, 01/14/2024 at 
11:00 (paperwork and ski fitting) and 12:00 (trying our skis out!)
We'd love to be able to play in the stadium for a little bit if conditions allow, and if not, we can use the snow in front of the Main Lodge to practice a little back and forth and warm up our ski legs!
