TBN - Cross Country Ski Program

The TBN Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Program, which includes bus coach transportation to and from the ski venue same day, is in jeopardy for next year. A confluence of factors including unpredictable weather, lack of bus captain volunteers, and declining attendance leaves TBN with the difficult decision of potentially cancelling this long standing program. Before we do, we want to reach out to you as a recent TBN skier or snowshoer for two reasons. Firstly, to get your opinion and suggestions on how this program can be salvaged and improved. Secondly, to ask your help in joining a committee to make this happen for next season. We appreciate your participation in this very brief survey.
