Welcome to the 2009-2010 season for MYSL at Elm Creek Park in Maple Grove!

Cold Weather Policy

Elm Creek has snow making facilities so we will meet regardless of snow conditions.  Skiing will be canceled under either of the following conditions:

*  Air temperature below 0 degrees F

*  Wind chill below -5 degrees F

A cancellation announcement will be communicated via email and posted here by 10am Sunday morning of the days that are cancelled.

2009-2010 Season Overview

The Elm Creek Chapter of the MYSL would like to welcome children ages 4 to 14 and their parents to join us for fun on Nordic skis! We teach kids to ski, using curriculum developed by the MYSL, a non-profit volunteer organization. Youth skiers are placed into six ski groups, based upon age and skill level. Parents of skiers may volunteer for coaching positions. No experience is required. We will get you started coaching and be there to assist you when necessary.

Elm Creek 2009-2010 ski season: 

     Dec 20,27  Jan 3,10,17,24,31   Feb 7

     Sunday afternoons. 2:00-4:00pm

We will meet on the balcony on the back side of the Challet at Elm Creek Park (a Three Rivers Park). It is located one mile west of Osseo on Highway 81. Snow making equipment at Elm Creek will make for a great ski season! Both classic and skate ski rental are available at the trail head building. Call 763-424-5511 for rental information or directions to the park.

New skiers are still welcome!  If you have a 4- to 6-year-old child, one parent will be required to assist that child during sessions. Make sure your skiers are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions! Dress in layers. A dry, warm skier is a happy skier. You must provide your own equipment. Midway through the session we usually stop to have a snack and drink. Adult skiers must purchase a Three Rivers Park ski pass.

Volunteer opportunities: We are a volunteer organization. Here are some volunteer positions available:

• Fill-in coaches (when coaches are absent)

Typical meeting: We're here to ski and have fun! We ski, play games on skis and in the snow. This is a very friendly family-oriented program. We divide into six groups based on age, comfort level, and skill level. Younger children ski close to the trail head and take advantage of small snow-covered inclines to get used to being on skis. Older kids venture off about the park. Coaches have curriculum, loaded with ideas and strategies for teaching young skiers. Half way through the session we meet back at the trail head for a snack, warm-up, and restroom break. Then back to the trail 'til 4:00!
