Once winter comes, we will be having weekly homeschool XC Ski days at Mt Van Hoevenberg (MVH) in Lake Placid on Wednesdays from 10am-1pm. MVH hasn't made the sign up form yet on their website, but the plan is to have it cost $50/child for the season, which would include lessons and a pass to allow the child to participate in other community programs too. We're not sure if that price includes rentals yet. Parents who ski with the group should also be able to get a discounted $50 pass, though the details on that are also a bit hazy. BUT, we wanted to share this info now because a whole bunch of ski swaps are coming up in the region, in case you were in the market for equipment. Here are some of them:
