St. Patrick’s Day is being treated to cross-country skiers of all skill levels tomorrow afternoon.
The Caledonia Nordic Ski Club (CNSC) is hosting an event known as ‘Brew-Ski’ to celebrate the holiday and local breweries by setting up beer statins along its trails.
Spokesperson John Bowes says the goal is to create a social atmosphere.
“We’re having a great season for snow this year, so as you can imagine, this has allowed us to hosts events like this a little later in the season than usual, which has been great and it’s always exciting to get involved with with a local partner too.”
He adds this is the first time the club has hosted a beer-trail, having done wine tasting in the past.
Bowes explains five check-points will be set up and the club is anticipating a big turnout.
“We will have about a two to two-and-a-half kilometre trail with four stops along the way and one up in the lodge. So the plan is to send people out in waves of about 25 people at a time.”
CrossRoads Brewery is providing the drinks, skiers must be over the legal drinking age of 19 years old, and they advise everyone participating to drink responsibly.
