Chip Chase shared this photo, taken from White Grass (WV) earlier this week.  White Grass has been open for skiing all week - see the snow reports! The fence in the photo is one of the 'snow-farm' fences that catch the snow that blows and drifts across the field, it's packed by machinery to make a skiable trail which often looks like a wide white ribbon across dry ground, it's several km long and really fun to ski.    

PACCSA teamed up with Laurel Summit Nordic Ski Patrol to share a table at the Allegheny Sport & Outdoor expo.  Not shown: Rick, Brian and Kate, who were behind the table earlier, and Jim & family, Elly and Mark who stopped by to say hi.

The newsletter articles on choosing skis and Pittsburgh xc skiing are in the Dec 2023 and Jan 2021 editions, and the rest of the collection is here and also in the 'About us' menu.

We'll meet this Saturday, Nov. 1st, at the Jail Trail for a casual rollerski ride at 9.30 am.  Parking will be at the Eliza Furnace Trailhead.

Bring your skate or classic rollerskis, or both for a full skiathlon session.

If you don't have rollerskis and would like to try, let us know and we'll bring extra gear (just bring your own NNN boots, poles and protection gear).

All welcome, rollerski with us!!

Thanks to our fabulous volunteer team, in random order, Bob, Scott, Diane, Janine, Bill, Linda, Will and Naomi, for spending time tidying the ski trails today.  The weather was fantastic and we cleared 3 dead trees and many sticks from the trails as well as removing debris from drainpipes.  If you missed today's session, you'll most likely get another chance to help next month.
