Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center will host a women’s-only cross country ski program Saturday, January 23 from 9:30am – 2:30pm. Pre-registration is required. The popular five-hour ski program, “Lapland Ladies Love to Ski”, is geared to first-timer through intermediate skiers ages 18+. Focus is on classic ski technique.
Cost for the program is $50.00 or $73.00 if participants need rental equipment. Included is a day-long facility use pass, instruction, lunch with equipment & clothing discussion, social group ski with instructors, group wrap-up, hot beverage and discount coupon for new equipment purchase. The program is led by Lapland Lake’s PSIA-certified instructors Sherry Dixon, Susan Henriksson and Jan Mares. Program is pre-paid and 100% refundable if there is no snow.
“Come learn to classic ski or come to improve your skills in our supportive, non-competitive environment. This program is ability grouped and taught by women, for women,” according to Susan Henriksson. 
Also on Saturday, January 23, Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center will offer a Full Moon Guided Evening Snowshoe Tour.
