What clothing and ski gear will be needed? Warm clothes that allow for movement. Hats, gloves, and warm wool socks. Plain Hardware, with help from Beaver Valley School, will provide the ski equipment. If you want to provide personal equipment for your child’s use, please contact Program Director, Rob Whitten, for assistance. We use only NNN style boots and bindings. SNS boots will not fit into NNN ski bindings.

What is the Plain Valley Nordic Team? PVNT is a ski team for youth, sponsored by Plain Hardware, Plain Valley Nordic Trails, Plain Valley Adventure Women, and our Plain community. Our focus is to have fun while learning to cross country ski. We teach for all skill levels, both classic skiing and skate skiing techniques. Skiers have the opportunity to race locally, regionally and nationally.

Where will the ski team practice? The team will ski primarily on the Plain Valley Nordic Trails, across the road from Plain Hardware.

Who can join the team? Children born in 2011 - 1998 can join.

When? The Jacks and Devos will practice Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3 pm to 5 pm. PVNT will transport kids from Beaver Valley School to Plain Hardware. For skiers riding the bus from Leavenworth, practice will start at 3:30 pm. At Plain Hardware, we will provide an afterschool snack and gear up the skiers for fun! We will ski until 4:45 pm and serve hot cocoa to warm up. The skiers will be ready for pick-up at 5 pm from Plain Hardware.

Senior Rec and Senior Race skiers will practice three to four times per week.

Join the Plain Valley Nordic Team!
