MBSEF’s New Year’s Nordic Relay

Presented by Central Oregon Pediatric Associates

Supported by Apollo Mechanical Contractors, Rebound Physical Therapy, True Wealth Group and Mt. Bachelor

The very best way to kick off the New Year!

Teams of Three – Freestyle

Teams will be organized into the following categories:

1. Teams of skiers ages 6-9
2. Teams of skiers ages 10-13
3. Teams of skiers ages 14-18
4. Mixed Teams with skiers from multiple age categories
5. Family Teams with skiers of mixed ages who are related
6. Adult Teams with skiers 19 and over

Each skier from each team will ski a 2km loop for a total distance of 6km for the whole team, except for the youngest category which will have a shortened course. Each skier may choose their own technique. Costumes are strongly encouraged. 

The number of waves will be determined after registration closes on Thursday, 12/31 at 5pm.

All racers should plan for a 10am start time. If numbers justify it, categories may be staggered starting at 10am and those new times will be communicated.

All racers will need to purchase a trail pass and sign a waiver for Mt. Bachelor, unless they already hold a Nordic Season Pass.

This is a casual and family-friendly event. Come for the laughs, and stay for the treats and prizes brought to you by MBSEF and partners.

So gather your friends and come ski into the new year with us!

A Note on Weather & Snow Conditions:

MBSEF’s community races will not be held when weather or trail conditions pose a safety risk to participants. When the weather or trail conditions are marginal we may encourage participants to enter the shorter distance events, or at the discretion of the race director modify courses as warranted. There is no specific minimum air temperature that races will be held. The determination of whether the race can be safely held will be based on multiple factors including temperature, wind, precipitation and course conditions.

The race director will make a final determination regarding the acceptability of racing conditions as soon as possible, but not later than 8 am the morning of the race. Any cancellations or updates will be pushed out via email and on MBSEF’s Nordic Account on Instagram (mbsef_nordic). A race that cannot be held due to unsafe conditions will have to be canceled. Registration fees will not be refunded.
