Youth ski rental program
The Northern Skiers Club and the Caribou Parks and Recreation Department have partnered to bring the Youth Ski Rental Program back to Caribou for all Caribou youth. This year, seasonal rentals will be available for all Caribou youth and include skis, boots, poles and a carrier for a fee.
The two package options are: Option 1: $50 per package with a Northern Skier Club membership or Option 2: $60 per package non-member. Both options required an additional $15 security deposit which will be refunded upon return in good condition.
Rental forms will be distributed this month, with the official sign up and fitting night slated for Thursday, Nov. 29 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Caribou Wellness and Recreation Center.
