Well over 100 young Nordic skiers will brave this weekend’s frigid weather at “The Race at Glacier,” sponsored by the Glacier Outdoor Center and Glacier Nordic Club. I believe organizers are still looking for volunteers, so contact Cameron Blake at [email protected] if you’re interested. And if you don’t want to volunteer and would rather be a spectator, just head up to the Glacier Outdoor Center in West Glacier.
For more information, check out the press release below.
