We have a limited number of free entries to give out courtesy of our neighbors in Pagosa Springs, CO, Pagosa Nordic Club. They have a set of very fun events suited for any ability over President's day weekend.
Best part:
- plenty of xc ski rentals for kids or adults available in Pagosa.
- Hot springs are killler (this one is our fave esp with kids: http://www.pshotsprings.com/ - you dont have to stay there to use the hot springs).
- organizers and volunteers are great folks!
- can't promise this, but in the years past they always had a large amount of swag from local shops to give away, so everyone got something rather than just a winner :)
events:
Sat Feb 14th: Red Ryder BB Gun Biathlon. That's alternating shooting targets and skiing laps, total ski distances (all laps added in) are 'kid' km, 6km, 12km (with 3 opportunities to shoot targets between laps). I'm pretty sure from past years that 'kid' k means whatever distance the particular kid is up for :) They are very flexible and beginner friendly adjusting events for participants on the spot!

Possibly relays and sprints as well.
They are so much fun especially for groups/families with all different abilities!
Sunday Feb 15th: 30k/60k races (or hot springs for the rest of us :). Not something to do 'off-the-couch' but gorgeous, fun and not as hard as some races of that distance!
