Now that you've signed up for the Nordic Club you can start registering for races! Go to each races page, register for the race, and then fill out the google form to let us know you are going to the race. Any races without a sign up link or google form will be signed up for later (sometimes MCSA is working out a discount for us and doesn't have a link yet). 

Lastly, look at the announcements page for current club events, practices, times to help volunteer, etc. Get involved, meet some cool people, and ski!!
