Mark your calendar on January 26th and 27th 2019 when the Northwoods Nordic Ski Club and its sponsors will host an NCAA qualifier for the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) at CAVOC (Cedric A. Vig Outdoor Classroom) in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. This is the 3rd year in a row the CCSA has traveled to Rhinelander to race on the #Best5kmInTheMidwest!

CAVOC presents one of the most engaging courses out there and Northwoods Nordic continues to create a locally based all encompassing race experience with two local race officials certified by FIS/USSA and course setting/inspection by our local Olympian!

The two races are part of the CCSA race series (http://www.ccsaski.com) scored for NCAA qualification in March! The collegiate skiers only have 10 races (2 @ CAVOC) to score in the top 6 or 7 and qualify for the postseason. There will be a women's 5 kilometer and a men’s 10 kilometer individual start (one at a time race against the clock) on Saturday and a women's 15 kilometer (3 laps) and a men’s 20 kilometer (4 laps) Mass Start on Sunday.
On Saturday following the races Holiday Acres Resort will be hosting an informal social for those often forgotten spectators, volunteers and coaches. More details to come!
Stay tuned for more event details and race information as we get closer! We are excited to have this high level racing return to Rhinelander! Also, please invite friends and family to this event!

The Northwoods Nordic Ski Club is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization (501c3) in the Rhinelander, Wisconsin community. We are a group of individuals dedicated to providing outdoor silent sports recreation to the public with an emphasis on cross-country skiing. 

We maintain approximately 30 kilometers of cross-country ski trails at three locations:

1. The Rhinelander Northwood Nordic Ski Trails near the Rhinelander Northwood Golf course
2. The Rhinelander Community Trails near the Rhinelander High School (RHS)
3. The CAVOC Trails just east of Rhinelander.

We also provide principle support for all area youth ski programs including Rhinelander High School Nordic Ski Team, Rhinelander Middle School Nordic Ski Team and the Sno-dags.
