ZANY: Zootown Area Nordic Youth 

ZANY Update

ZANY is returning this winter, 2027.  Starting on Tuesday, January 12th and going thru February 16th, the Zootown Area Nordic Youth program will host six weeks of classic or skate instructions for Kids ages 5-12. ZANY takes place at the Pattee Canyon recreation area on Tuesdays from 4-5:30 pm.  Kids are split into groups according to age, ability and desired mode of skiing.  You must be 8 or older to participate in skate skiing. All coaches are dedicated volunteers intent on creating a fun and playful experience, as well as an appreciation for one of their favorite winter  activities- Nordic Skiing. 

Sign up for ZANY will open on December 1st, 2026 at 7:30 pm.  This program fills up fast and coordinators will do their best to get kids off the waitlist and on to skis. Please do not sign your child up if they are planning to miss two or more weeks.  We understand life happens and of course illness may keep some of us at home, but if you or your child are not committed consider making room for another eager skier.
