The Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of cross country skiing. Throughout our six month ski season, we organize a variety of recreational and competitive activities for skiers of all ages, including group tours, youth programs, clinics, races, and tracksetting.
Members receive a monthly newsletter providing information on skiing events and activities.
Organized group tours lead by club members range from half-day explorations of local trails to overnight outings on glaciers in the Alaska Range. Popular area touring destinations include the Steese-White Mountain trail and winter cabin system maintained by the BLM and the Chena River Recreation Area cabins maintained by the state Division of Parks. The club's Junior Nordic program continues to grow. Elementary and Junior High-age students meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons at Birch Hill for skiing instruction with a focus on skills development. The Junior Nordic program supplements those offered by many area elementary schools.
