Welcome Message from DXC SkiSparks Leader
Hello fellow skiers! As the DXC Ski Sparks Leader, it is a pleasure to invite you to join us for a fun ski season in partnership with the MYSL program! I first learned to ski just after finishing college while living in the peaceful northwoods. I had to find something to do, and cross-country skiing was the obvious choice, as I learned this is what we do here. It turns out, that is for good reason! Since learning to cross-country ski as an adult, I have enjoyed the snowy months of the year with such joy, both individually and with my family. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids as we learn, create memories, and share the love of skiing together.
-Molly Shoberg, DXC SkiSparks Leader
