This long standing Durango event brings skiers together to celebrate winter from beginning to end. If there isn’t enough snow, this race will be pushed to Sunday, Jan. 1.
One way to beat the darkness of this time of year is to get outside and enjoy it! Experience the alpine glow of the Twilight Peaks and the rise of the full moon as you sip a warm beverage or go for an evening ski. This is an event for the whole family. Day pass required, rentals available.
The Nordic Center’s toughest endeavor, the Pine Needle Langlauf freestyle event offers big climbs, scenic views, thrilling descents, and excellent snow conditions. There will be live music, prizes for winners, and schwag for all!
The Durango Nordic Center offers lessons and clinics for all ages and levels, from never-evers to experienced skiers. Lessons and clinics run throughout the season!
The Butch Cassidy Ski Chase, hosted by the Telluride Nordic Association, is the third of four races in the San Juan Mountain region to crown the King and Queen of Nordic Skiing in the Southwest!
Join us for the McDonald’s Winter Triathlon. This event is for individuals to compete in a race in the winter discipline of their choosing: fat biking, snowshoeing, or freestyle Nordic skiing.

One of the biggest ski races in the state! The Alley Loop is not your typical Nordic Marathon… It stands both as a premier American Birkebeiner Qualifying event, in addition to being Crested Butte’s most outrageous costume party of the year! The course winds its way through snowy streets, alleyways and narrow bridges through the heart of downtown Crested Butte.
Registration opens October 1, 2023.

Community Nordic Night at Hillcrest Golf Club!
Wednesday, December 6, 5- 7 PM
WHAT: We are excited to host an informal community night with Hillcrest to kick off the ski season and answer your questions about grooming, programs, gear, races and events, and whatever else you are pondering about Nordic skiing at the moment. All are welcome! Staff from Hillcrest and DNSC, as well as DNSC coaches, will be available to answer all the questions.
HOW MUCH: Free! Any donations collected will be shared between Hillcrest & DNSC for grooming needs.
WHAT ABOUT DINNER?: The Hillcrest kitchen and bar will be open with chili and beer/wine for purchase.
ONE MORE THING: GEAR SWAP!
**If you have gear you are interested in selling, bring it with you for a low-key gear swap! This is our first venture into a gear swap, so please keep your expectations tempered :) Here's the plan:
Bring your gear (classic or skate skis, boots, poles for adults and kids - no downhill gear, please!) to the Golf Club starting at 4 PM to check it in with Coach Nick. Please have a price in mind, but if you have no idea, we'll coach you through it. If your skis are vintage or exceptionally well-loved, we reserve the right to suggest some cool craft projects for them instead. To expedite the process, please try to email Coach Nick a pic of your gear and a description prior to next Wednesday.
DNSC will retain 10% of the sale price.
We would prefer that all transactions go through Venmo, so download that app if you don't have it yet!
Please remember to take your unsold gear home after the swap.
See you Wednesday!
