JacksonXC was the host of the 3rd event in the Community Tours and Event Series. It was a bright, beautiful day for a round-trip tour to Jackson’s Cocoa Cabin. Our participants ranged in experience and age, from a first-time cross country skier all the way to an EISA skiing alum, now mother to some young XC skiing enthusiasts. The group met at the touring center and then started out towards the Cocoa cabin. We glided through the woods, chatting and exchanging our favorite riddles.
We were greeted at the Cocoa cabin with rice krispie treats, hot chocolate, and marshmallows for roasting over the fire. Due to some dietary restrictions, a few participants carried in their own snacks. The future of snacks is bright, these kids were prepared!
After our winter picnic, we were off on our way back to the touring center for more snacks! Ellen C. was awaiting our arrival with pretzels and mustard to roast over the fire at the center.
