The Smith College Skinny-Ski Scurry is a now annual fundraing race hosted by the Smith College Nordic Ski Club. This year’s race is planned to be held at the Notchview Reservation in Windsor, MA on February 21st and to be open to the whole community. Our intention with this race is to provide a low-stakes racing opportunity for community members, youth racers, and collegiate skiers.
This race is intended to fund our team expenses. Nordic skiing is an expensive sport that requires teams and athletes to invest in equipment, clothing, and transportation. Specifically at the college level, we must pay for all our race fees, trail fees, wax equipment, overnight accommodations, transportation, and, of course, team skis and gear. We try to reduce barriers to entry as much as possible and create an inclusive experience regardless of financial need.
Currently, the race is planned to be a 7.5 km skate race on the morning of Saturday, February 21. Check back soon for a link to sign up!
