Hausmann Center, Lapham Peak

6:30 p.m.

We had a great turnout for the Season Kickoff on November 9th. So nice to see so many people come out to celebrate the start of the new season and to honor our Heroes of Lapham Peak—Kris Maki, Paul Keber and Rita Keber—who have done so much to make Lapham Peak the skiing mecca that it has become. Once again, heartfelt thanks to them for their years and years of effort, dedication and sacrifice. And to all of you who were there! 

Due to technical difficulties at the event, tsome portions of our presentation had the audio missing. To make up for that we will be making those pieces available on YouTube.  You can find the first one here:

Back in the Day at heritage Ridge

We'll be posting photos of the event in the near future.

Also check out the videos our Platinum Sponsors have made below.

A special thanks to our Platinum Sponsors: Bicycle Doctor, Oconomowoc Realty, and Revere's.

Race Training Group

We are excited to launch this new program aimed at helping skiers level up their fitness, technique and readiness for better on-snow performance. You can be aiming at better results in the Birkie, Korte or Lapham Loppet, participate in Wednesday Ski League races or simply want to feel more comfortable on your skis. This group is intended for skiers that may have gained all they can from more basic instruction such as Tuesday Night Lessons, and are interested in refining and expanding on what they have already learned. We expect that most people will be doing a race of some kind during the season but you do not have to!

Meets Wednesdays at 5:45. Location changes. See event list for details and location for each week's meeting.
