Crested Butte Nordic Team
An outdoor, healthy, community-focused after-school activity for all kids.
The CB Nordic Team teaches kids to love skiing and the winter outdoors. Our motivated coaches create a safe environment to cultivate teamwork and inspire athletes to be the best people and skiers they can be. We offer on-snow, after-school programs for athletes ages 4 to 18. From competitive nordic racing to biathlon, from nordic skill development to backcountry travel awareness, the Crested Butte Nordic Team has a program for everyone.
