My wife,
Clare, and I are transplants from Bozeman, Montana. We moved here in
search for a place to ski and do some engineering.... Well I did any
way, and Clare came to attend the U of U. The climate along the
Wasatch is so wonderful! Four distinct seasons, plenty of deep snow in
the winter, and lots and lots of sunshine all year long!
Skiing was a
way of life growing up. My mom and dad were / are avid skiers and
brought the whole family criss-crossing Montana in the winter to hit
the local races and to search out deep snow. In the early 80's I was
introduced to the tele boards by my older brothers. So when I moved to
Ogden, I found some friends that skied Franklin Peak and Cutler Ridge
on a regular basis, and became familiar with the North-fork park area.
In 1999, our
family moved to Liberty and realized that Northfork Park is a real
gem. It has everything necessary to become a great "Nordic venue", of
sorts, during the winter. But in 1999, there were not many efforts to
make it more conducive for good Nordic skiing. So, I contacted Dave
Jenkins in 2002, and offered to help him with the initial grooming
effort. Thanks to Dave and his crews, we have now have over 20 km of
great grooming in Northfork! What a fantastic job!
I can
say that it is a pleasure to work with such dedicated, up beat, and
optimistic people as we have in Ogden Nordic! I want to thank all of
our volunteers who spend the time to groom, coach, and organize
things. Many of our volunteers don't ski very much, but enjoy the
work, and cheerfully dedicate their time for the cause. We are very
thankful for their time and thoughtfulness!
One of our main goals is to create a "Notable" Nordic Venue for the folks who live and visit our valley and the Ogden Area.
Enjoy the grooming, the gliding, and the scenery!. And then, let us know how you feel about it.
Sincerely,
Terry Davis
