That is really neat! Thank you for posting the pictures. I could not have imagined what a sit-ski would be like; and the smiles of everyone's faces are just amazing.

I saw the liability form too - a person pretty much signs up to assume all responsibility even if some aspect of the facility were a contributing cause to a mishap. It's probably the only way to get the venues to open - and probably worth it.

Thanks for taking time to post these: I really appreciate it.

I'm glad you enjoyed those!

Ski for Light is also supported by the Sons of Norway who allow the program to use their lodges. They provide lodging and family style meals at a discount and their members volunteer as guides. It has been wonderful to get to know so many wonderful Norwegian people who treat us like family every year!
