Help us bring groomed cross-country skiing to the Hamilton area.

The North Shore Nordic Association, a 501C3 tax exempt non-profit charitable organization formed by local residents with the goal of acquiring and operating ski grooming equipment on some of our local trails. The NSNA will work with local land stewards to groom a classical and skate ski lane on several existing trails including Patton Park, portions of the Discover Hamilton Trail, Appleton Farms and Grassrides, Bradley Palmer State Park and hopefully Sagamore Hill.

 

The NSNA is seeking funding from multiple sources to acquire an 84” Groomer and a special utility snowmobile to tow the groomer. Additionally we seek to acquire a trailer, operating insurance, fuel, signage, trail maps and signs. Please consider making a donation in any amount on our website www.nsnordic.org. All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. WE need to raise a total of approximately $25,000 to get the operation up and running for the winter of 2015-2016. Subsequent years will only require funds to operate and maintain our equipment and pay for fuel and insurance. The NSNA will be an entirely volunteer run operation and we are seeking anyone interested in helping out in any way.

 

Once we are operational all ski trail use will be free of charge and supported by donations. NSNA will issue donor cards, as a token of appreciation to those making a donation of at least $100.

 

NSNA is also seeking to partner with corporate sponsors to fund a portion of our capital campaign.

 

 

Trail & Grooming Updates

We are almost ready to groom!

Carol Catalano

We have had a terrific response to our matching challenge and we expect to be up and running (ready to groom trails) within the next week. Here are the details:

Fundraising

We have raised $9,140 in the last 3 weeks towards our matching challenge!  We are very close to matching the $10,000 pledged by our generous sponsors Craft Sportswear of Beverly and Brotchie Capital Management of Peabody.  The challenge ends January 17th: please help us meet our goal by forwarding this message, liking us on facebook and twitter and encouraging people to visit our web site nsnordic.org.  Does your company offer matching gifts?

Capital Equipment and Insurance

Here's what we've done with your donations thus far! 

Purchased this Arctic Cat Bear Cat 7000 utility snowmobile for grooming, and bought the YTS Ginzu Groomer, which was delivered on Saturday from Vermont. Six of us were able to be there for the delivery, some informal training and familiarization with how it all works.

A hidden expense was also finalized - we secured insurance for NSNA, which is required for us to groom Patton Park and other areas.
