Yoga + Skiing + Food… What could be better? Join us at 10:00am for a yoga class at the Gerrish Township Municipal Building (1 mile south of XC Ski HQ). Then, head to XC Ski HQ for a full day ski/snowshoe rental and group lesson at 12:00pm (facilities pass included). Also included after the lesson is a homemade chili lunch (classic or vegetarian) at the Stone Turtle Café (onsite).
Spend the rest of the day enjoying the serenity of the beautiful Michigan winter forests on the pristinely groomed Headquarters ski trails, or relaxing with a mug of hot cocoa or glass of wine by the Stone Turtle Day Lodge fireplace.
All are invited to participate, including novices to yoga, skiing or both. Over a $65 value for $45 ($35 if you have your own ski/snowshoe equipment). You will have the opportunity to change from yoga clothes into ski clothes before the ski lesson, or shop our great selection of ski clothing if you need to get outfitted!
