Green Bay Nordic Ski Club

We think the time has come to make Green Bay the place where nordic skiing,
year round activities, a love of health and fitness and a sense of adventure
are combined into a new organization. We want this to be fun. We want this
to inspire people to get out and be active with friends. We want to be with
people who know how to use the whole year to appreciate winter. We want to join
together to get some unfinished business with trails, grooming and lack of
snow addressed. We want to get the next generation of skiers started. We want
to embrace the many ways to enjoy the winter and the different kinds of skiers
that make that happen. And, we want to you join.

Here are some specific things we want to accomplish.
- Combine the efforts of the Ashwaubenon Ski Club, trail groups, workout
groups, and coaching into one organization
- Promote and coordinate multi-sport, year round activity for people in
support of a variety of fitness goals
- Organize trips like those successful in many other parts of the country
- Support high school and junior competition in our area
- Increase the number of learning options available to new skiers by
coaching, clinics or just getting new skiers out with somebody who knows how to
have fun
- Develop night skiing options
- Develop snowmaking options
- Use our combined voice to better influence local government organizations
on trail issues
- Share in efforts to put on local events and to expand on the types of
events offered in our area

We feel that Green Bay and the surrounding area is ready for this type of
organization with many of the pieces already in place. We have seen Madison
take the idea of a club to new highs and look forward to doing even more
here.
