The Summit Nordic Ski Club sent a pair of platoons to Casper, Wyoming, and Midway, Utah, this past weekend for their first races on snow since their seasons were cut short in March due to the pandemic.
At International Ski Federation races on the 2002 Winter Olympic course at Soldier Hollow in Utah, Summit Nordic 15-year-old Nina Schamberger of Leadville caught the eye of the national Nordic skiing community. Schamberger finished ninth in the skate sprint and seventh in the 10-kilometer classic in a pair of time-trial start events that featured a collection of the country’s best youth, college and pro Nordic skiers.

The top of the FIS women’s cross country skiing standings took on a decidedly Big Green hue over the weekend when Dartmouth College graduate Rosie Brennan won the first two races of her World Cup Nordic career.
The 2011 graduate and former Big Green competitor claimed back-to-back races in Davos, Switzerland, to leap to the top spot in the women’s standings. Brennan took both the qualifying and knockouts in Saturday’s freestyle sprints, then backed that up by winning Sunday’s 10-kilometer freestyle.
The victories catapulted Brennan to first place in the overall standings with 377 points through six events.
