Learn-to-Ski Day has been rescheduled to Sunday, December 12, due to rain in the forecast for Saturday.

Local residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a day of cross-country skiing and other winter activities at Quarry Road Trails in Waterville on Saturday, December 11.  This free community event, hosted by Waterville Parks & Rec, is the first of three Community Ski Free Days scheduled for the 2021-2022 winter season. 

The Quarry Road Welcome Center will be open to provide free snowshoes to loan, ski equipment demos (first-come, first-served), free learn-to-ski clinics, snacks, and information.

Due to high demand and limited equipment, please arrive early if you plan on participating in the learn-to-ski clinic.
