A Big Hit with Families!
scavenger hunt 1On Sunday, January 17th, families & friends, couples & one canine gathered to take part in our 1st Annual Snowshoe Shuffle Scavenger Hunt.  All in all, 27 teams and 2 solo competitors traversed the Snowshoe trails of the Nordic Cross Country Ski Club... scavenging items and racing to complete 2 laps of the 2km course.  Finishers unwound in the comfort of the heated day lodge while sipping on hot apple cider.  Special thanks to Liz Sage of Team Fitness for her volunteer time and donation of prizes, and to the volunteers of the Nordic Cross Country Ski Club for the use of their trails and facilities.  Click here for a photo recap of the day.  See you all next year!
