This is to inform your club and other avid skiers in your area that the trails of the Hearst Cross Country Club have been open since November 20. We have presently 20 km of trails groomed for both classical and skating. The conditions are excellent and our new "Racing Rabbits" team have been on the trails since then. We don't yet have a web page but that is for next year.

Our season extends usually from the 1st week of November to 3rd week of April because we have close to 15km covered with lumber mill chips which makes a very uniform and maintenance-free trails.

If you are looking for nice skiing, we are a possibility.

Thank you.
