Thu, Nov  10, 2011 - By Dan Cantrell

Light snow is falling outside and the forecast is calling for more.  The Rendezvous Ski Trails are covered and the South Plateau is looking good.   A few more inches and the trails in town will be rolled, groomed, and ready for the Yellowstone Ski Festival.  There are two weeks to go and almost all of them have a snowflake in the forecast. 
 
With the 2011 Yellowstone Ski Festival in sight, the final details are wrapping up.  It is not too late to register for a clinic.  Consider a three or five day Nordic clinic to start the ski season off right.  Or a one or two day to fit your holiday schedule.  Take in an early season race.  There are six different races at this year’s ski festival.  Online registration is available now.  Sign up by Thursday, November 17 to avoid late fees.  Check out the schedule of events.  Enjoy an array of wax clinics, movies, classes, and presentations.  The schedule is updated constantly, so check back often.  The Indoor Expo is packed with all things Nordic and free of charge.  Visit with those in the know from Rossignol, Salomon, Fischer, Toko, Atomic, Fast Wax, Madshus, Swix, Solda, the National Nordic Foundation, National Guard Biathlon, Sun Valley Nordic Ski Club, Concept 2, Boulder Nordic Sport, SkiFast Ergometer, Cross Country Skier, Ski Trax, Master Skier, and the West Yellowstone Ski Education Foundation.  Fill in your wish list at the On-Snow Demo- Your ski pass allows you full access to demo gear on the trails.  Be sure to schedule some time so you can sample the latest and greatest from Alpina, Atomic, Fast Wax, Fischer, Madshus, Rossignol, Salomon, and Swix.
