Winter is coming!
Three things to add to your getting-ready-for-winter checklist:
1) “Like” our page on Facebook so you can keep up with club news, photos, etc.
2) Sign up your kids and lease skis through us for either our Youth Program (PreK to 8th Grade) or our new Middle School Team open to kids from any school (Grades 5-9.)
3) Consider attending the Farmington Ski Club ski sale (especially if you need adult-sized ski.)
“On Saturday, November 5, from 8 am to 12 pm the Farmington Ski Club will be hosting its 29th annual ski sale at Mt. Blue MIDDLE School, on Middle Street in Farmington, Maine. The club expects to have over 2,500 items including downhill and cross-country skis and boots, snowboards, poles, helmets, clothing and other winter recreation items. In addition to used equipment there will be four ski shops with new equipment; Northern Lights, Ski Depot, Sport Haus and Carter’s Cross-Country.” Full Details.
