WELCOME TO PXC NEWS: VERY IMPORTANT WORK PARTY – MAY 6-7 & OTHER NEWS

Hero

This is the end result of the summer XC Work Parties.

THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK PARTY OF THE SUMMER

It is time to install the winter drainage pipes (the XC version of Half-Pipes) and covers that help to control running water on the trails under the snow. It isn’t heavy work but needs lots of hands. At the same time the Nordic Shelter will be prepared for opening whenever the snow falls.

If you can attend for the weekend, a day or a few hours, it will be time constructively contributed to your sport.
