About the Club
Northern Lights Nordic Ski Club is a 501c-3 non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cross-country skiing as a healthful, family activity. Our membership has grown since 1991 and presently includes over two hundred fifty families. Club members volunteer their time to groom and maintain eight area ski trails and work with the Grand Rapids and Remer High School ski teams, Minnesota Youth Ski League (MYSL), Mount Itasca Nordic Ski Association, Itasca County Trails Task Force and other local and statewide organizations. Our funding comes from member donations, state grant-in-aid, and fund raising events. We strive to continually improve Nordic skiing in our area for all ages and abilities.
