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 Langlauf is part of the Southwest Nordic Race Series, four events in the San Juan Mountains region to crown the King and Queen of Nordic Skiing in the Southwest.

Note: Every participant needs to sign the Durango Nordic Center Waiver at least once this season (if you already signed it, ignore; If you don’t know, sign it now.). You may also sign when registering for the event.

Prizes awarded to top male and female winners in open categories. Plus a HUGE prize drawing for all participants!
