Nordic Ski Season Underway!

Hard to believe with the 50 degree, sunny days we have been having, but the Nordic ski season is underway. Team participation is high again this year, with our numbers creeping up near the 50 mark.

Today we get our first chance to see our friends/rivals from the conference at the "Run with Poles" meet -- a 5k run held on the trails behind Irondale High School.

Directions are available HERE.
