Overview
Mission
The Minnesota Nordic Ski Club provides recreational and competitive Nordic skiing opportunities to University of Minnesota - Twin Cities students. The Minnesota Nordic Ski Club provides competitive training for athletes, and supports athletes at intercollegiate competitions at regional and national levels. This purpose falls under revenue ruling 67-291, 1967-2 C.B. 184, stating that university sports clubs are tax-exempt under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
What it reported doing in 2022
Team training trip: The Minnesota Nordic Ski Club brought 56 athletes to the American Birkebeiner Ski Trails in Cable, WI for 4 days of training. The club provided transportation, lodging, and trail passes to support athletes. The club also provided waxing equipment for athletes, although this is provided throughout the season and not specific to this program. This time included open training for athletes to ski as much as desired, and structured training, where athletes completed intervals and other specific training exercises. This training is essential for later season performance due to the cardiovascular requirements of 50 kilometer ski races. The athletes traveled from Minneapolis to Cable on 01/09/23, and had open training that afternoon. On the 01/10/23 athletes had open training in the morning, and completed interval and balance work in the afternoon. On 01/11/23 the entire day was left free for open training, with multiple athletes skiing over 100k in this single day. On 01/12/23, skiers had open skiing in the morning, and completed speed and competitive games in the afternoon. The morning on 01/13/23 was left open for training, but many athletes took that time off to pack up and begin heading back to Minneapolis. Athletes skied over 5,000 total kilometers during the 4 days of training, which helped set athletes up for success in later races. This training trip also allows for team members to get to know each other ahead of the start of the racing season, which is important for team camaraderie and chemistry. The goal of this activity was to support athletes with an important early season training block.
