Ski for the Key, Remaned “Ski for the Heart,” February 16

Ski for the Key, the new name of the former “Ski for the Heart,” will take place Saturday, February 16, 2013, at the Swedetown trails. The event will benefit two Keweenaw organizations: Omega House, which provides residential hospice care, and the Swedetown Trails Club, responsible for maintaining the Swedetown ski and mountain bike trails in Calumet.

Participants raising more than $50 will receive a beautiful cotton long-sleeved t-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to participants who raise the most money and who ski the most kilometers.
