The Nordic Valley Sprint race will be held on February 8 – 9, 2024 at Nordic Valley Ski Resort.
In an effort to showcase the new Olympic Race formats as well as give the top US racers an opportunity to practice this particular format before competing overseas, Nordic Valley is hosting the first Olympic Race format weekend in the US. This weekend is the only dedicated sprint race weekend in North America with two sprint races to test your sprint speed and build experience.
Awards ceremony and raffle with prizes from our fantastic sponsors will follow the racing on Saturday and Sunday.
No parking reservations required but please carpool and park in the dedicated Nordic Valley parking lot.
Races
The sprint races are heat-based mini individual races, combining the essential ski mountaineering features and techniques with an ascent on skins, part of the ascent on foot with skis attached to your pack, and then a single descent from the top.
Transitions are crucial and every second matters to advance to the next round; the course will take approximately 3 minutes for the fastest racers.
Depending on the number of participants, top qualification times will be used to assign heats for quarter finals, semi finals and finals.
A lift ticket or valid season pass is required.
