New XC ski club at Michigan State Univ.! : )

Students at MSU are starting a new XC ski club. First one ever!

I went to their first meeting last night. About a dozen showed up with
another 8 who couldn't make it but are on the email list.

Only a couple kids know how to ski and have equipment. There's mostly
a touring interest.

Thankfully, there are ski areas in town with rentals. One shop sells
touring stuff.

I'm volunteering to help out in the skills, etc., dept for anyone who
wants it.

We have a good half dozen places to ski locally on skier-skied-in
trails, but a couple trails are groomed.

Let's see if some fun materializes. : ) It's good to see some young
folks eager to get outside.

Good for you. Now maybe you'll be able to use those teaching tips
you've been contemplating.

Hi! I am an MSU student, and I have tried to find information about
this club, but it is not on the MSU website. So I decided to google
it, and this came up! I was wondering if you could give me any info
about the XC skiing club! Thanks!
