Sierra Regional Ski for Light

Dave and Walter head out to who knows where.

If you are an experienced cross-country skier, you know how exhilarating a day on the snow can be! Guiding a blind or visually impaired skier is a wonderful way for you to share your skills and love of the outdoors and to give another person the opportunity to develop his or her potential, as well as to just have a fun day on the snow.  As an experienced guide, I can tell you the personal rewards gained from guiding are priceless!

Go to our Guide Information and Ski Calendar pages for more information.  Questions??  Contact Edie at thelotts@gmail.com.

Unfortunately our March 22nd Day Trip is canceled due to lack of snow.  Except for a great 3 day event, this has been a disappointing winter!!  Looking forward to next season.

The March 8th-10th  3 day event is on.  The event will be held at Royal Gorge.

The August hike to a waterfall at Van Sickle Bi-State Park was enjoyed by all participants!

While the group was small, everyone enjoyed SRSFL’s first water sports day held at Lake Natoma.

Sylvia wrote, “I am new to kayaking so I listened intently. “Feel the seat, that is where you will sit. Your feet will go down here….Now feel the paddle, these dots show where to place your hands.” Then the shove off into the American River just above the Hazel Damn. The water was calm and cool, and pleasant. I stroked, left, right, left, right, left, left, left, and left again. Ooh, going straight was not that easy. But boy was kayaking fun! moot,, tranquil waters, whispering gentle breezes.
My experience left me feeling better than an hour of massage, completely relaxed. Thank you Bruce Johnson for showing me this wonderful sport.

It’s only the beginning!
