Is coming to the gym and doing the same old work out boring you? Maybe this year you should try something new to fulfill your New Year's resolution. The ORC will be offering cross country skiing fitness classes. We will be going out twice a week from the PEIF to different trails. If you don't have any experience, don't let that stop you.
