Skmana has triple the Bunnyrabbits and Jackrabbits this year, compared with last year, and we’ve realized that we’re short on some equipment sizes for the Jackrabbits.
We’ve got 2 sets of BRAND NEW, NEVER USED Rossignol junior nordic ski kits for sale: $150 each set.
Ski sizes are 160 or 170 cm (good for 99 – 119 lb)
Boot sizes (6 – 7.5)
Poles (appropriate for the height of the user)
Please contact Michelle at skiskmana@gmail.com if you’re interested!

Skmana Ski & Snowshoe Club is very grateful for the recent financial assistance provided to us by the Chase Rotary Club.
Those funds allowed us to purchase new and badly needed trail signs. Greatly appreciated, Rotary!
Welcome to Skmana Cross-Country Ski and Snowshoe Club
Our ski club offers 14 kms of track set classic ski trials and a generous offering of designated snow shoe trails. All are well marked and cover a very wide range of natural forest, lakes and streams. If you watch closely you may even encounter snowshoe hares, woodpeckers and grouse. With real luck you may come across our resident moose. Families, social groups and individual skiers and snowshoe’s will all find the trails very user friendly. You won’t be disappointed!
The trails are located at Skmana Lakes Forestry Recreation Site and are managed by the club. A warming hut is provided as a social gathering place.
