Schedule and location
Welcome! Our club meets Sundays at Baker Park Reserve in Medina from 2:00 to 3:30 pm. Start date 1/7/24 and every Sunday through the end of February. Back up date March 3. Gather in the Rosewood room in back of the Baker Chalet. Skis and poles stay outside!
Baker Park Reserve website: https://www.threeriversparks.org/location/baker-winter-trailhead Plenty of free parking!
Weather and cancellation policy
We will not ski if the air temperature is below -2˚ F or the wind chill is below -10˚ F, or at the leader’s discretion. Always check the website or email with questions. Cancellations will be posted on this web page.
In the event we have no natural snow, and all snow dance efforts are ineffective, we will move to Elm Creek as our backup site Sundays 3:00-4:30. You will be notified by email should this dire consequence result.
Dress
Layers, layers, layers! Appropriate dressing for active sports like cross country skiing means several insulating layers, and a jacket and/or vest, not the usual go-to-school-play-on-the-playground winter coat. Warm socks and mittens are of utmost importance. And don't forget to top off that look with a great hat.
Equipment
MYSL Rental equipment (19 sets) will be available pre-season
Baker has weekly rentals available. You can rent each week (up to a week in advance I'm told) - reserve and pay online, and pick equipment up in the chalet. Works great for parent rentals too.

Volunteering
We need you! This entire operation is run by volunteers. No need to be an expert in anything besides having fun. Please sign up to volunteer at https://mysl.org/volunteer.
Parents
If you are the parent of a skier in Level 1, you must accompany your skier on snow at all times, either on or off skis.
