December is a big month for the San Juan Nordic Club, and not just because of the snow and its work preparing cross country ski trails for outdoor recreation.
Coming up this Saturday, Dec. 6 is the annual San Juan Nordic Ski Swap. This year’s event will be held in a new location at the SLV Gen Wild Gear Library at 518 San Juan Ave., downtown Alamosa.
The Ski Swap is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is where you can buy, sell, and donate your ski and outdoor gear.
If you have items to donate for the ski swap you can do that on Friday, Dec. 5 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Then on Dec. 12, there’s the Backcountry Film Festival by Winter Wildlands Alliance that benefits the San Juan Nordic Club. The film festival will be held for the first time at The Church Project Community Arts Center in Monte Vista. Here’s a link for those tickets.
