Nordic Skiing

We are a student-run club team providing opportunities to race, learn, and love the sport of Nordic skiing. We invite new and experienced Nordic skiers alike to gather and share stories of trips on the trails, bond while watching World Cup races, and have fun outside during the winter! You do not need to have gear or experience to join. We lead recreational trips to nearby ski areas in the winter and have a racing team that races within the Eastern Collegiate Ski Conference of the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association for 6-7 weekends, beginning during JTerm and ending late February. We host practices year round and look to bring skiers of all abilities together and to promote a positive community and love for the outdoors. Spring 2025 Practices: Mon (lift) @ 7:15pm, Weds (lift) @ 8:00pm, and Tues/Thurs @ 4:30pm. Typical recreational outings on Sundays if there is snow at nearby cross country ski areas.
