Get your skiing skills honed for upcoming ski trips with lessons offered by club instructors at 10:00 am at the Kettle Moraine State Forest-Lapham Peak Unit.

Because of the lack of snow, we will ski on the snowmaking loop at Evergreen Shelter area. There should be at least 1.0 km of man-made snow in excellent condition on Saturday. Please contact Carol Doebler at tortoiseski@wi.rr.com if you wish to take free ski lessons at 10:00 am. Non-members and prospective members are encouraged to attend the free lessons, so spread the word. 

We’ll have a noon picnic lunch supplied by the club for those who registered or contacted Rita Keber by Tuesday, Jan. 10 at Trecker Lodge at the Homestead Hollow parking lot along with the club’s monthly meeting. 

You will need a 2017 State Park vehicle sticker (annual $28; daily $8) and a State Trail Pass (annual $25; daily $5) per person. These can be purchased at the Lapham Peak entrance station. Lines can be long at the entrance station, so come early. Lapham Peak is one mile south of I-94 on County Highway C at the Delafield exit.

If there is snow, Wheel & Sprocket provides ski rentals on Saturdays from 9 am to 9 pm in the small white building on the road to the Evergreen Shelter area. Call the Delafield store at 262-646-6300 for prices. The store opens at 10 am on Saturday.
