The Danish and Norwegian concept of HYGGE is a quality of coziness and friendliness that lends itself to a feeling of contentment and well-being. There are many ways to embrace hygge in your daily life. Acknowledge the pleasure in simple things, like your favorite hot beverage in the mornings, or enjoy an activity with friends.

SKI WAXING CLINIC

Come learn how to best take care of your Nordic skis for their longevity and your best performance. You’ll learn about the differences between kick wax and glide wax, and when, where, and how to apply them. This clinic is focused on all kinds of cross country skiing and skis, including skate and classic, and fishscale, skin, or waxable skis. There is applicability to alpine skis, although that isn’t the focus.

You do not need to bring your skis to this clinic.

Immediately afterwards, we’ll head up to a local lake for an evening backcountry ski. HOK ski rentals for this event are available for only $20 each. If you’ve been curious about these ski/snowshoe hybrids, now’s a great chance to try them! Find more information here.

Come embrace winter with us!

This event is a part of Cook County’s Hygge Festival, happening February 3-14. For more information and to see the entire schedule of events, check out Visit Cook County.
