Youth Nordic Races

2012/13 Youth Nordic Race Schedule

Racing can be fun and we encourage all young Nordic skiers to get out and give it a try. You never know, some day one of these skiers might be standing on an Olympic or World Cup Podium. Below are the junior races scheduled for this season.   The 5km Alpenglow Freestyle Race and the Great Ski Race are better for more advanced skiers. The ideal distance for youth racers is 1-3 km to help them learn to ski fast and develop fast twitch muscles.   We have not finalized the date of the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Education Association's Kid's Great Ski Race. Will let you know has soon as we have it set.   The Great Kid's Ski Race 2012 at Tahoe Cross Country   Strider Glider Lily Murnane with World Cup Nordic Champion and Olympian Kikkan Randall 2012/2013 SKI SEASON YOUTH (12 & U) NORDIC RACES ASC CLASSIC SPRINTS DECEMBER 22, 2012 10 A.M.
