The Great Ski Race®
1st annual 26km Tahoe City loop, March 6, 2022
This year we’re announcing a new route for The Great Ski Race — the main fundraising event for the all-volunteer Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team (TNSAR).
We plan to bring you a never-before-raced 26K course around Mt. Watson that returns to Tahoe XC for the usual finish line party celebration (a map of the new course is at http://thegreatskirace.com/registration-form).
This completely new course has lots of varied terrain and great vistas, not to mention the usual challenges our skiers sign up for (one of them being the notoriously wildcard race-day weather).
The entrance fee is $80 until Thursday, March 3rd. We are excited to see you test this unique course. Thanks very much for supporting TNSAR as you have through the years.
See you Sunday, March 6, 9 a.m. sharp!
The Great Ski Race® is the main fund raising event for the Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team, a non-profit all-volunteer organization. Team members, along with community supporters, organize The Great Ski Race®, which continues to be one of the largest Nordic ski races west of the Mississippi. Race proceeds are used primarily to purchase equipment for the Team, and to support winter survival and avalanche education programs sponsored and conducted by the Team.
The race is limited to 700 registrants, so register today!
