There will be three “on the trail/outdoor” sessions, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday morning during which everyone attending will be expected to either ski with his/her guide or participate in some type of outdoor activity.  Although a one-on-one guide is provided for skiing for the entire weekend, participants should be independant in all aspects of self care.  You are being asked to pay a $35.00 registration fee for the weekend. All other costs will be covered by the Wisconsin Regional Ski-for-Light Committee. These costs include bus transportation from Madison, meals, lodging and ski equipment (if needed).
