Summit Nordic Ski Club head coach Olof Hedberg spoke from Soldier Hollow Nordic Center in Midway, Utah, on Saturday, March 13, in the same situation but with a far different experience as last year.
It was on the Thursday afternoon in Soda Springs, California, 12 months ago when Hedberg and Summit Nordic skiers rushed home to Summit County after the cancellation of the remainder of the week’s Cross Country Skiing Junior Nationals. The cancellation was a part of U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s decision to cancel all remaining domestic events due to coronavirus concerns.
“Last year at this time, I was standing in a trailer packing up our stuff,” Hedberg said. “The races ended right there, right then. Since then, it’s been 12 different months.”

With the support of more than 300 donors, including local businesses, an anonymous benefactor and significant grants, Nelson Nordic Ski Club has purchased a new snowcat to groom its cross-country ski trail systems at Apex, Busk and Clearwater, just south of Nelson.
The Club recently concluded its cheeky Love Your Club fundraising campaign, which brought in more than $30,000 in donations from local supporters attracted by the prospect of a long-term relationship with deep, luscious classic tracks and firm, rippling corduroy.
