From noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Mar. 1, three tables will offer homemade fare for hungry skiers along the Maasto Hiihto Gorge Trail.
The event starts and ends at the chalet at the Houghton County fair grounds in Hancock. All proceeds go for trail equipment. Tickets are $10 until Friday, Feb. 27, or $20 at any of the food tables that day --NO REFUNDS. Tickets are available from any KNSC board member or normal ski pass business outlets.
Sandy Aronson enjoys the well marked striding trails along Maasto Hiihto's Swedetown Gorge River Trail. Photographer Arlyn Aronson is also the chief groomer for the trails. More Details: The well-marked course of just 3.5 miles (extra loops available to work up your appetite) will guide you to the first food stop near Tomasi road. This hors d’oeuvre table will feature fine cheeses and much more. After this "warm-up" we’ll descend along the Swedetown Creek on one of the prettiest trails in the Keweenaw! The next stop will be serving piping hot chili and Finnish pea soup at a scenic spot along the creek. After noshing here, you’ll continue down the creek towards some delectable desserts, which will be served at the top of Sisu hill. At this final station you can celebrate the circumnavigation of the gorge!
The Swedetown Creek River Trail meanders through the woods, right in Hancock, providing a scenic cross-country ski experience at Maasto Hiihto. After you ski back to the chalet, hot drinks will be available, so stay awhile and socialize. Or listen to RHYTHM 203 performing in the chalet!!
