All are welcome at the UNH Nordic Ski Club! Whether you're looking to be a competitive racer, stay in shape, or just meet some fellow lovers of xc skiing, come join us! We welcome all levels of interest.
Formal practices are scheduled three times a week during the fall semester. Even for those not interested in competing, these on-campus outings are an excellent way to stay in shape and socialize with other people. For the racers, these practices offer the base for a more aggressive regimen, which is worked out to accommodate the schedules of those interested.
The club also provides a team for those who are interested in racing. We stay up to date on both official and community races in the area to ensure that we are able to get out and ski as much as possible. We are NENSA affiliated, which means members recieve a discount on their NENSA membership.
Along with practices and races we go on a number of social outings each semester. In the past we have taken ski trips to Bretton Woods, Jackson, and Gunstock, as well as some pre/post snow trips to Mendums Pond, Hilltop Fun Center, and others
We are also involved with the broader UNH community through various volunteer projects.

Schedule
In the fall semester, we hold optional running practices approximately 3 times per week. These are informal and fun! Coming to practices is a great way to get to know other lovers of nordic skiing.
Our spring semester schedule varies each year and is dependent on snow coverage around the New Hampshire region. In the past, we have been able to go on trips once a week (either Saturday or Sunday) until the snow melts.
This past season, we took several recreational trips to Jackson, NH. We also raced in Gunstock's annual Valentines Paintball Biathlon, and attended the Nordic Chocolate festival hosted by the town of North Conway.
Accomplishments
The Nordic Ski Club is proud to be a fun, recreational group for nordic skiers at the University of New Hampshire. While we mostly attend recreational trips, the 2017 Paintball Biathlon at Gunstock, NH was a chance for us to put on some racing bibs again!
We placed many of our members on the podium. Check out the photos here:
