Greetings Nordic Skiers and Parents!
We are excited that the Nordic Ski season is on! Here are a few important reminders for the season:
- Practice started Monday, November 9th from 3-5pm. We practice Mon.-Frid. Meet outside the ski room. Come ready to run outside and be prepared for the weather. Bring layers. No jeans.
- Make sure to register online before practice begins. Every athlete must have a current physical on file. You will not be allowed to practice without an updated physical.
- It is not too early to start thinking about equipment. There will be skis and bindings available to new skiers, but you will still need to purchase or borrow boots and poles. The boots need to be compatible with SNS bindings. Returning skiers should already have or strongly consider buying their own equipment. They will also need 2 sets of poles--one for skate and one for classic.
Here are some recommended places to shop for equipment:
- Finn Sisu – St. Paul – 651.645.2443
- Gear West – Long Lake – 952.473.0377
- Hoigaards – St. Louis Park – 952.929.1351
- Midwest Mountaineering – Minneapolis – 612.339.3433
- REI – Bloomington
- Joe’s Sporting Goods – St. Paul – 651.488.5511
- Check out www.skinnyski.com and click on “gear” or follow the links to the “crowded classifieds” or “fall ski swaps”.
- DO NOT GO TO PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS!!!!
We are looking forward to a great 2015-16 Simley Nordic Ski season! Check out the blog at: http://simleynordic.blogspot.com/

*Note on phone numbers. We encourage athletes to have our contact information in their phones. The nature of Nordic skiing has us spread out in a larger geographical area than most sports, and weather adds another concern. We feel this added communication option is important for safety.
