Cheer on your Nanooks on Dec. 6 and 7 for the 2024 黑料社appNordic Cup. This will be the first set of races on the new UAF ski trails, which were recently approved by the International Ski Federation (FIS). The Nanooks will race against the Anchorage Seawolves, and registration for the community race coinciding with the Nordic Cup is live.

The community race is open to all active US Ski and Snowboard and FIS license holders. The final day to register is Dec. 3.

Races start at 11 a.m., and the UAF Patty Center will provide a warm space for spectators. The Nordic Cup is free to watch for everyone! Be sure to dress warm and follow Alaska Nanooks on social platforms for weather updates.
