Community Nordic Night at Hillcrest

Community Nordic Night at Hillcrest Golf Club!
Thursday, December 5, 2024, 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! Here's the plan:

  1. 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 email us a pic of your gear and a description prior to Thursday, December 5.

  2. DNSC will retain 15% of the sale price.

  3. We would prefer that all transactions go through Venmo, so download that app if you don't have it yet!

  4. Please remember to take your unsold gear home after the swap.

Crested Butte - Alley Loop

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.

2024 Winter Sports Hall of Fame Gala

It all started WITH…

A desire to recognize those that go above and beyond in supporting our youth in pursuit of excellence, as well as those that have been role models by having a postive impact on the growth of competitive winter sports in our community.  

Durango Nordic and Durango Winter Sports Club seek to continue the legacy of the Hall of Fame. Read more about the Hall of Fame criteria and the previous Hall of Fame recipients on the Durango Winter Sports Club website.

In 2024, we are bringing back the Hall of Fame and Winter Celebration Party after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at 5 PM at the VFW Post 4031 in Durango to celebrate this year’s Hall of Fame inductees and raise funds for scholarships for kids in our community to participate in winter sports.
