Welcome to the

Lakehead Superior Nordic Association

2022/23 LSNA FA Race Events

The Lakehead Superior Nordic Association (LSNA) sub-committee is excited to offer new race events for the 2022-2023 nordic ski season. All of these race events will be hosted by LSNA (Big Thunder Nordic Ski Club and Lappe Nordic Ski Club) at Lappe Ski Centre.

The intent is to have low-key, low stress events as a way to expose skiers in the community to ski racing. The race events have the following objectives:

• Provide opportunities for local skiers to participate in a number of different race events with a variety of race formats in a low-key environment.
• Provide appropriate technical and physical challenges to racers.
• Provide opportunities for clubs to develop the capacity to run races.
• Provide race options for local skiers not travelling out of the area for races.
• Provide an opportunity for volunteers to learn the ropes.
