Nordic is a Yearlong Lifestyle
Summer Training and Events
Another season is in the books. Though we're excited to spend some time with the wildflowers and the afternoon rainstorms, that nordic glide is always in the back of our minds.
So, in keeping with this week's snowy forecast, we're thrilled to share that we're partnering with CORE to offer adult summer dryland training starting in June. It's going to be a great mix of indoor and outdoor options that can be tailored to fit your needs and schedule. We're also excited to bring back summer youth training for the devo and comp teams. Read on for more details about each program.
The end-of-season survey will be open for two more weeks. We'd love to hear your feedback. Don't forget to include your email at the end for the chance to win a free 2024-2025 season pass.
And don't forget to save the date for our Volunteer Party and Outpost Celebration on Friday, June 14th at 4 p.m. We look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful building and celebrating our amazing community of volunteers. Let's kick summer off with a great celebration.
