Free Ski & Snowshoe Day, Nordic Races at Paul Smith’s Saturday

March 17, 2021 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Paul Smith’s College Visitor Interpretive Center Cross-Country Ski Trails providedThe Paul Smith’s College VIC is set to mark the first day spring with free cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and two races open to the public on Saturday, March 20th.

A 7.5-kilometer, classic interval start race will begin at the VIC main lodge at 10 am, as well as a separate children’s 1-kilometer race. Meanwhile, over 25 miles of ski and snowshoe trails will be free to access for the duration of the day.

Ski and snowshoe rentals will be available during regular building hours, 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, and the VIC’s skate, classic and snowshoe trails will be open and accessible dawn until dusk.

Included in the terrain are trails developed in conjunction with USA Nordic and US Biathlon. Both organizations have partnered with Paul Smith’s College and the VIC for elite training and competition at a facility recognized for its landscape and strong snow base.

For more information and up-to-date trail conditions, visit the Paul Smith’s College VIC website.
