Geocache Description:

This cache is an introduction to the trail system of the Nordic Heritage Ski Center. It is an all season people powered trails system. The cache is good for all seasons.

Welcome to the Nordic Heritage Ski Center. This is a free - four season recreational area for people powered sports with extensive ski and bike trails. The area is owned by the Maine Winter Sport Center and operated by volunteers from the Nordic Heritage Ski Club. Maine Winter Sports Center (MWSC) was founded in 1999 to re-establish skiing as a lifestyle in Maine. The goal is to create a new economic model for rural communities, create healthier lifestyles for the youth and develop a foundation for a quality of life that will inspire people to build their futures in these communities. The Nordic Heritage Center has been referred to as one of the top Nordic facilities in the world by an international licensing delegation. It is operated by the Nordic Heritage Ski Club, a non-profit corporation, which works hard to fulfill the mission of MWSC. The Ski Club hosts local, national and international cross country and biathlon competitions as well as community development programs. We hope you will take the opportunity to come and see what has the rest of the world so excited. The cache is located on the Gallagher trail. A trail sign can be found on the side of the building in the parking lot. Take some time and explorer the facility. Please sign the logbook showing that you were there. This cache is good in all seasons. It is located by using the first place along the road for parking. This cache will introduce you to the trails of the facility. You will cross a bike/hike trail and the cahe over looks one of the ski trails. The cache is located just off the ski trail where it enters a very narrow rock bound valley. It is at the edge of the high point as seen from the trail.
