Arctic Adventure: Ski Finland
We will be exploring Finland starting from Helsinki and traveling across the country to Lapland to do a week of Cross-country skiing and other winter activities, such as Husky sledding and possibly downhill skiing. There is a good chance that we may see the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) and we will have the week culminate in a cross-country ski marathon, either of our own design or one organized by one of the local ski clubs in Finland. Last year we participated in a ski marathon in Jyvaskyla that is the home of Dr. Latva-Kokko's alma mater.
This program is open to skiers of all abilities; skiing instruction will be offered prior to the start of the program
