The Nordic News

Summertime Livin’

Here at CB Nordic, the last ski day by a staff member was Coach Gordon on May 23. It’s hard to believe that was less than a month ago with the current snow coverage, but given the season, it’s pretty awesome that there was still good skiing that late in the season.

Sure, many things have slowed down for us here at CB Nordic, but slow is relative compared to the pace of winter, and we’ve still got plenty going on. The Comp Team workouts and training sessions are ongoing nearly every day of the week, and the office staff is busy locking down big-picture projects, including a revamping of our winter signage and wayfinding. We also have the Grin & Bear It and Summer Grand Traverse right around the corner.

And our Volunteer Party is tomorrow! You can read about that and more below. Thank you for everything you do!

Volunteer Party - Tomorrow!

Bring a chair, plate, and fork!

We cordially invite all volunteers to CB Nordic tomorrow for an expression of gratitude in the best way we know how - with tacos!

Thank you for sharing your time and sweat with us this season. You’ve done it all in the last year, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Please join us tomorrow, Thursday, June 18, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party. We’ll be at the Nordic Center for food, drink, and a good time.

Please remember to bring a chair, a plate, and a fork. We’ll see you there!

Grin & Bear It

Run, Bike, or Volunteer!

Join us on Saturday, July 11 for the 43rd Annual Grin & Bear It.

Back again for the second year, we’re offering both trail running and mountain biking events. Choose from the traditional 15km run out-and-back to Green Lake. Or go for the 25km loop and choose sneakers or tires.

Not racing this year?
We’re looking for volunteers in the following roles:

• Green Lake Aid Station 

• Checkpoint Locations on Course

• Brunch Set-Up and Clean-Up

• Start Line Set-Up

• Finish Line Help

• Racer Sweeps

Summer Grand Traverse

Volunteers Needed

September always feels like a long way away until it’s not. So we’re putting the call out now for the help we need to pull off the Summer Grand Traverse Run and Bike. There are too many positions to fill to list them out here, but you can be part of the magic through the link below.

Thank you in advance!
