Nordic Winterfest

It’s been a mild, mostly dry winter so far, but it’s a snowy wonderland up on Mt. Spokane. That’s where the Spokane Nordic Ski Association will be hosting its annual Nordic Winterfest on Sunday, and they’ll be offering 45-minute classes throughout the morning that cater to beginners to intermediate skiers of all ages. Even better: They’ll only cost you $5 (not including equipment rentals), and maybe it’ll inspire a new love of winter sports. But the day isn’t just about skiing. There’s also a kid’s treasure hunt, a free lunch in the Selkirk Lodge and $25 clinics focused on skijoring, a winter sport that involves being pulled by dogs, horses or snow vehicles. See a full schedule of activities and register for a class at spokanenordic.org; you have until Friday before the event to sign up.
