The Nordic Ski mitigation plan for high school ski programs has been approved and allows for the start of the cross country ski season on the Kenai Peninsula.
Skiers representing all Kenai Peninsula high school ski programs may begin organized, team practices on Monday, December 14th.
The mitigation plan approved by the KPBSD was specifically submitted by SoHi Athletic Director Kyle McFall and is site specific to the Tsalteshi Trails, Soldotna High School fields and trails, and other local trail systems (wildlife refuge, beaches, and other outdoor facilities). The plan is adaptable to all other high school practice locations.
