Skier Checklist & Expenses
Nordic skiing involves two different methods, Classic and Freestyle/Skate, where skiers require different sets of equipment for each method.
In addition, skiers will experience Minnesota's wide range of temperatures and weather conditions. To help parents prepare their skiers for the coming Nordic ski season, we have outlined a gear checklist and expected expenses, beyond the registration fees and other payments.
IMPORTANT!
Our goal is to have all payments completed via TeamSnap invoicing or Venmo and forms completed electronically. However, we are flexible with skiers and parents.
Nordic Ski Team preparations checklist
Parents, complete the following ahead of the mid-November ski season start.
- EduTrak registration and Team Enrollment: See Team Enrollment.
- TeamSnap app installation: Upon enrollment, TeamSnap will send you a link to install and set up the app for notifications, schedule, etc.
- Clothing: Purchase appropriate outdoor clothing. See Clothing for more information.
- Equipment: See Equipment for more information. The Board and coaches will help skiers and parents to navigate the process of obtaining needed equipment at the season start.
Parents, familiarize yourself with the TeamSnap app and this website. These are the sources of all info throughout the season.

To view examples of skiers' costs based on their grade level, experience, and how they obtain their equipment (rental or purchase), see Example Scenarios of Skier Expenses ».
For the convenience of using TeamSnap to pay for dues, an additional charge of approximately $10 will be added to any invoices. We will minimize these charges as much as possible.
