Nordic Night at Lapham Peak - Every Tuesday

Lapham Peak is the premiere location for cross country skiing in Southeast Wisconsin for many reasons, including 5 km of lighted trails, of which 1.2 km are served by snowmaking. Weeknights at the Peak are alive with activity, with the Peak Nordic Kids on Monday and adult and high school racing on Wednesday. This year, we are designating Tuesdays as Nordic Ski Club of Milwaukee night. The event will be very informal – show up when you feel like it – meet your friends in the Evergreen Shelter – head out and stride or skate a couple of loops around the lighted or snowmaking trails -- then around 7:30 to 8 pm, come back to the shelter building to have refreshments with the group. Bring something simple to share – your beverage of choice, and an easy snack.

No advance sign-up is required. If you have questions or suggestions, contact John McCarthy at (262) 549-3604 but you should expect to leave a message, because he’ll probably be out at Lapham, skiing.
