Founded in 2023, Club Nordic Skiing has quickly gained momentum, with last year marking a major milestone as we began holding regular practices and attending regional races. The club serves as an inclusive community where experienced skiers can continue to pursue their passion in college, while newcomers are welcomed to step onto skis for the first time. By offering a less intensive alternative to varsity athletics, we provide a vital space for students to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and build camaraderie during the winter months.
As our participation numbers grow, so do our operational needs. We are fundraising to expand our racing program and ensure that every interested student has the chance to compete. Your donations will directly support:
- Race Weekend Logistics: Funding for team lodging and nutritious meals for our racers during travel.
- Performance and Maintenance: Purchasing high-quality ski wax—essential for competitive speed—along with specialized waxing gear and tools.
- Local Access and Fees: Securing additional ski passes for the Quarry Road Trails and covering necessary institutional membership fees.
By taking full advantage of incredible local resources like the Quarry Road Trails, we help students embrace the Maine climate in a healthy, social environment. Your support ensures that we can keep the barriers to entry low, allowing students of all skill levels to get outside, stay active, and grow together as a team.
