The Keppoch is excited to be hosting a XC Ski Maintenance and Tips Workshop at the Keppoch Lodge with “That Ski Guy” Ike Whitehead.

Cross country skiing is an activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Ike will provide an informal session on how you can get involved, topics to be discussed are equipment selection, how to maintain your equipment, wax vs less wax, and clothing requirements. Whether you are new to cross-country skiing or need a refresher, this workshop is a great opportunity to ask questions and receive hands-on practice.
