The annual Retro Ski will take place Sunday, February 16, 2025, starting to gather at 1:00 pm at the Four Seasons Chalet at the Hancock Recreation Area (Driving Park). The “Retro” part of this is that you are encouraged to wear and use old time clothes and equipment, but that is not a requirement for participation — dress however you please and use whatever equipment is best for you.
Besides getting to use old equipment the other objective of the event to is explore parts of the Maasto Hiihto/Churning Rapids trail system that are off the beaten path or seldom visited in the winter season. The Retro Ski is an opportunity each year to explore some of that country with like-minded friends and knowledgeable guides. There is no fee for this event, although donations are always appreciated.
The event includes breaking trail and possibly some lightly groomed trails. Time on the trail is likely to range from 2 -3 hours.
