Upcoming Events


Two more events are scheduled for the first season of BAY Nordic and hopefully we will be fortunate to have great conditions as we have had each session so far. I hope everyone has enjoyed the group as much as we have. All the contributions from all volunteers and coaches is greatly appreciated. We would have been even more lost without it. Total registrations for the year has hit 100 kids making this one of the largest kid programs in the State, well beyond our expectations. Between 75 to 80 kids have participated in each session.

February 20th

The next event is February 20th and time for the kids to show off at the annual Stump Farm Ski Race hosted as a fundraiser for the Ashwaubenon Nordic Ski Team. As part of the festivities, a kids event will be held featuring the BAY Nordic kids....please encourage the kids to wear the BAY Nordic hats. The ANST is setting up three distances for the kids.

  • ½ km for 3 to 4 yr old group
  • 2.5-3.0 km – 5 to 6 & 7 to 8 yr old groups
  • 3.5-4.0 km – 9 to 10 & 11 to 12 yr old groups

The BAY Nordic kids event is set up to be a non-competitive fun event for the kids to go out and enjoy. A 5km Middle and High School Race is scheduled for 10:15am for any older kids wishing to race at their parents consent. Any Bay Nordic member wishing to participate in the race must register separately.

We will be providing our normal check- in and rental during the session. All kids must report to their groups by 10:00am and remain with their coaches until the start. BAY Nordic kids will be starting after the 5km Middle and High School race at approximately 10:40 to 10:45 am. We will have coaches and volunteers out on the course to make sure we stay on the course and help out with any problems.

Jennifer will be coordinating cookies and hot chocolate for post-event refreshments. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer to help out on the course or with refreshments.

Additional information on the Stump Farm is located at http://www.ashwaubenon.k12.wi.us/highschool/athletics/stumpfarm.cfm#d105226. An adult race is at 11:30am for any parents wishing to participate.

March 6th

March 6th is our final session and will consist of normal group activities and a cook-out. We have the back-end of the shelter along with the grill rented for the day. Grilling will start early but we would like to encourage families to stay into the afternoon, eat some food, and ski.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions. Think Snow!
