Race Team News

December 5 , 2006 - We still have a limited number of Ohio Nordic Race Team lycra suits available for purchase (click here for a template of the suit design). We contracted the suit design through podiumwear of Minnesota. Interest in the suits was very heavy last year so we ordered extra just in case. Please contact president@ohionordic.org for sizing availability. Re-orders are possible from podiumwear, subject to their capacity to produce the suits, which can take up to six weeks as of late November. Suits are sold as "independent separates" (top AND bottom sized separately but sold together) for $125 unlined, and $140 lined.


About the Ohio Nordic Race Team. The Ohio Nordic Ski Club race team competes in a variey of ski events throughout the Midwestern US and Canada, as well as some of the longer distance races around the world as part of the Worldloppet circuit.

The club team with the most points at the end of the season wins. Points are earned on the first 30 members of the team per any one event. Whenever you race, you earn Michigan Cup points for Team Ohio Nordic as wellas for yourself. For more information on the Michigan Cup, go to www.nordicskiracer.com
