WA Nordic Cup Freestyle Race #4

The Washington Nordic Cup (WNC) is a fun and youth-focused cross country ski race series open to skiers ages 6 – 19. There are five race events during the winter season. Event locations are throughout the east side of the Cascade Mountains. WNC Member Clubs from each area host the races. The clubs are members of the Pacific Northwest Ski & Snowboard Association (PNSA), a member division of U.S. Ski & Snowboard.
The goal of the WNC is to create fun, low cost, and low stress racing opportunities that are close to our home towns in Washington State. Races will be a mix of traditional diagonal stride in the tracks and skate technique. Some events will have course themes such as skiercross with jumps, bumps, and obstacles, while others will have outfit themes such as crazy tights.
Participants will register for each race individually. Skiers will earn points at each race based on how they finish relative to skiers of similar age and sex. Points earned will automatically be calculated and added to the WNC Results. At the last race of the season, top point earners will be recognized and earn prizes.

Plain Valley Nordic Team is excited to host Race #4 of the five-race Washington Nordic Cup series. This cross country ski race is a fun and youth-focused series open to skiers of all ages.
