Come enjoy the action as hundreds of High School racers take to the trails in one of the last races before the Sections and State.  Lots of opportunities for food and shopping in town.

North Superior Ski and Run Club is expanding the Sawtooth Intl’ Ski race to include a whole weekend of racing activities.  Check it out!  It also serves as the last races in the North Shore Point Series.

The Y-Ski 2014 Season is Upon Us!!

The North Superior Ski and Run Club sponsors a Youth Ski League (Y-Ski) to encourage kids to learn and love the lifetime sport of Cross-Country Skiing. Y-Ski is held on Sunday afternoons, from 1:30-3:00 at the Pincushion Mountain Trail System starting in January. Y-Ski is a fun, family environment where kids learn Nordic skiing in an atmosphere of games, group activities and skiing the wonderful trails at Pincushion. Y-Ski is designed for kids from Kindergarten through 6th grade – all ability levels are welcomed and accommodated. (Kindergartners need to bring a full-time adult helper, please!)

Y-Ski is also affordable. The fee is $20 per child, with each additional child only $10. The North Superior Ski and Run Club (NSSRC) has a wide selection of children’s skis, boots and poles available for rent for the entire winter for a nominal fee of $25 (or $35 for those wanting both skate and classic skis).

Y-Ski begins in early January, or as soon as we have reliable snow, and runs through the month of February. We have a variety of activities including a field trip, special events and an optional fun race.
