Ski Camp

Update - Fort Kent ... Here we come!!!

We have secured lodging at the Overlook Motel and Cabins in Eagle Lake, about a 15 minute drive from the nordic center in Fort Kent.  More details will follow shortly, with info about what to bring, when we'll be leaving, etc., so stay tuned.  For now, know that the team will be leaving early Monday morning and returning late in the day on Thursday.

Thanks to everyone for their patience as we figured this out.

Team fee

The team fee for this ski season has been set at $225 (same as last year).  Those skiers getting a family pass will be charged $180.  Team fees will be billed by the business office.

Please let Susan know if you have any questions about the fee.  If paying this team fee is difficult for your family, please talk to Susan.

Wax Clinic

Thursday, December 17 - 6:30-8:00 at the Pineland Outdoor Center.  There will be a Swix rep on hand for waxing demos, questions, etc.

Pineland Pass Forms

We still are awaiting Pineland pass forms from many skiers.  Please bring your completed pass application form tomorrow -OR- tell Susan if your family will be getting a family pass.

If your family will be getting a family pass, your ski team fee will be reduced by $45.  Information on family passes can be found here:

Once you go to this page, move your cursor over the lower right area titled Skiing and Snowshoeing (under the photos), then scroll within that area.  There you will see information and pricing for day passes and season passes, which may help you decide whether your family might be interested in a family pass.

In case you misplaced your paper copy of the Pineland pass form, here is a link to find it again:
