Nordic Fest at Mount Washington was a fun first day

 By Keith and Heather Nicol

Skiers at the first Mount Washington Nordic Fest  were treated to fresh snow and lots to do on Saturday, March 26.  The Mount Washington Nordic Ski Instructors were kept busy with many FREE 15 minute lessons , there were sessions on learning to wax your own skis,  opportunities to win lots of prizes and even go on a scavenger hunt. Avalanche Canada was there to show people about snow safety and avalanches and you could practice using an avalanche transceiver and probe.  The first annual Nordic Fest continues on Sunday, March 27 with more activities for the whole family including a sliding hill, get warm in the Nomadic Sauna and discounts on ski lessons and snowshoe tours. Check it out since there is only just a few more days of skiing for the 2021-2022 ski season at Mount Washington.
