SKI EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
No equipment? No problem. Iron County 4-H has a great ski check out program where club members can check equipment out to use for the whole winter. This is a great opportunity for area youth who may be interested in xc skiing but don’t have equipment to use.
In the event that the ski inventory is checked out or we run out of sizes, rentals are also available at ABR each week, for youth members who may not have their own equipment.
Ski equipment is checked out to families who enroll their children on a first come, first served basis. Be sure to enroll your child asap if you are interested in checking out ski equipment.
Parents will be contacted at a later date to set up a time/date to pick up ski equipment.
