Junior Nationals Qualifiers
Junior Nationals is the season ending event for aspiring Nordic competitors. The event brings together the best young XC skiers in the Nation. Junior Nationals is held in a different part of the country each year in early March. Past locations include Soldier Hollow, Ut; Minneapolis, MN; White Face, NY; Donner Pass, CA. The 2025 Junior Nationals will be held in Soldier Hollow, UT.
Each year before the beginning of the ski season the Nordic Competition Committee (NCC) will select certain ski meets, each normally consisting of separate races on two consecutive days, to be Junior National Qualifier Races. The NCC may use one meet from outside the division as a qualifier race as well. This is to expose the skiers of PNW to competitors from outside our division.
