"Organized backcountry Nordic
skiers" may appear to be an oxymoron to you,. but consider the alternatives.
For too long we have been taking only pictures and leaving only tracks.
Three years ago a group of backcountry skiers decided that the future of
beckcountry skiing was looking grim. Places where we used to ski are becoming
housing developments, locked up by resorts, or under study for inclusion into
alpine ski areas. Helicopter skiing with its attendant intrusive noise is
available to the affluent and snowmobilers have a strong lobby to pumote their
activity.
This group decided to take positive steps to make the needs of
backcountry skiers more visible to the powers who make decisions which affect
their sport. The Nordic Voice, the ncwsletter of the Conservation Committee
oldie Ski Touring Section of the Sierra Club's Loma Prieta Chapter was the
result.
The Nordic Voice is the local point for the gathenng and
dissemination of information on assues which affect backcounrry skiers. You
will tind articles on Land Management Plans, OHV Plans, ski area developments
and expansions, changes in SnoPark, parking issues, and more. We also arrange
and attend Forest Service meetings, mark trails, work on the creation of new
backcounuy ski huts, and occasionally we even publish an article solely about
the joys of backcounuy skiing.
Subscripyion to the Nordic Voice is
absolutely free. We will keep you informed about the issues and hope that you
will write a letter when the need arises. To receive your free subscription
please write: Nordic Voice, 3383 Burgundy Drive. San Jose. California
