Minnesota Youth Ski League – Nordic Ski
Northfield youth and volunteers will gather weekly on Sundays from Jan. 4-Feb. 22, 2026, for Northfield SkiSparks 10th season. This learn-to-ski program is run by local volunteers and supported by MyXC’s curriculum and structure. Youth will learn under the same organization that taught Jessie Diggins to cross-country ski!
Kids ages 4-12 learn the basics through group games, exploring the trails of the Carleton Arboretum, and focusing on skill building. Rental equipment for youth is available on a first-come, first-served basis. It’s a great way to be outside together as a family on a Sunday afternoon. Sessions are 3-4:30 p.m. If there is no natural snow, a back-up location and time is available at the trails at Hyland Hills in Bloomington.
Registration is now open at www.myxc.org. Register early to access rental gear!
