Our agreement with DCNR for grooming at Laurel Mountain ended on March 31 and the new agreement is still in the works.  Unexpectedly, DCNR recently changed their requirements to include a COI and we are currently researching new insurance options.  We expect that the new insurance will be very expensive, substantially more than we have paid in the past.  We cannot do any trail grooming until the new agreement is in place.

The 2026 Cross-Country World Cup finals will be held at Lake Placid, March 19-22.  The link to buy tickets is here.

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.
