KCKCC plans cross-country ski event

by Kelly Rogge

Kansas City Kansas Community College is planning Cross Country Ski events this winter. This will be the second consecutive year a ski event will be held on the college campus.

The following events are planned for this winter:

• A clinic. This will be held inside to talk about Cross Country Skiing including the equipment needed, waxing, clothes, boots, technique, where to ski, and other information
.
• A lesson. This will be for beginner, intermediate and advanced skiers. Everyone is welcomed, even if you do not own a pair of skis. If you do not have skis, a pair will be provided to use during the event.

• A tour. This tour event will be similar to what was held last winter. A track will be created on the east side of campus.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the Cross Country Ski events. Once it snows, a date will be set for the event. This could mean only 12 to 24-hour notice, so that there can be some skiing before the snow begins to melt.

Those who are interested can contact Ron Wollenhaupt, KCKCC Health and Wellness, at [email protected]. Information is also available by contacting Pam Hall at [email protected].
Kelly Rogge is the public information supervisor at Kansas City Kansas Community College.
