Hot wax and cold snow

Saturday, December 11 Loppet Ski Club Waxing Party, Potluck Brunch and Ski at 
Jeff's Waxing Barn and Ski Trail.
Bring your skis, wax (if you have some), and a brunch dish to share.
Coaches will provide wax benches, irons, scrapers and brushes.  
(We will have some wax to share, too, but if you have your own, bring it.)
Directions from Minneapolis: 
·         Take Hiway 7 west to Hennepin County Road 92 (signal light at St. Bonifacius).  
·         Turn right (North) on Henn Cty 92, go about 2 miles
·         Turn left (West) on Nike Road about 2.2 miles (Nike Road becomes Swede Lake Road).  
·         10705 Swede Lake Road - There is a shed on left with gravel road, proceed to rear of property. 
If lost call 612-759-1110 (Jeff). 
There are about 5K of trails for both skate and classical skiing.
For a map, at Google Maps enter: Nike Road and either Minnetrista or St Bonifacius.  On Mapquest enter Nike Road and Maple Plain, MN.  Nike Road becomes Swede Lake Road after it crosses the Hennepin/Carver County line.  You will see that finding it should be fairly simple.  From South Minneapolis it is about 30 miles and 50 minutes.
