The little club that could

In 1993, a small group of passionate Nordic Ski enthusiasts established the Wanaka Nordic Ski Club to provide events, training, and fundraising to support Kiwis in the sport of cross country skiing at the recently established Snow Farm.

Fast forward 30 years and New Zealand’s only cross country Ski Club is having to start from scratch and build it’s own facility to support its members, after changes to their lodge lease.

A fundraiser quiz night is being held at Ground Up Brewery on the night of Friday, 14 April at their Gordon Road premises, to raise $10,000 to put a waxing container next to their Locker and Clubhouse containers.
