BEMIDJI, Minn.<\/strong> — Believing that climate change could have a negative impact on winter recreation in places like Bemidji, Bemidji State University is helping to promote a “Keep Winter White” ski outing on Saturday, Feb. 28.<\/p>\n

The outing, the second of two such events held in February, will run from 1:30-3 p.m. at Concordia Language Villages. The outing will include a tour of the Das Waldsee BioHaus, the village’s environmental learning center.<\/p>\n

Event organizers hope those participating in the outing will be encouraged to think about their carbon footprints and consider how their behaviors might contribute to the global problem of — or ultimate solution to — climate change. The outings explore Bemidji’s lesser-traveled ski areas. Skiers will be asked to consider a thought-provoking question or idea along the way, which will pertain to one of three topics: global warming myths, green lifestyle choices, or conservation ethics. <\/p>\n

There is no charge for the events. However a Great Minnesota Ski Pass is required for skiers 16 years or older. Ski passes are available at Lake Bemidji State Park or through the state’s Electronic Licensing System for $5 each. <\/p>\n

The outings are a collaboration between Bemidji State University, Concordia Language Village, the Bemidji Cross-Country Ski Club and Lake Bemidji State Park.<\/p>\n

To register or for more information, contact John Fylpaa at Lake Bemidji State Park at (218) 308-2300; Edwin Dehler-Seter, environmental education and natural resource management specialist at Concordia Language Villages at (218) 556-1347, or Erika Bailey-Johnson, Bemidji State University sustainability coordinator at (218) 755-2560.
