On this page you will find information pertaining to most Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks events for the coming season. For any events not listed here, or for which there is no information, please check the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks website, or, if there is a contact number listed for the director of the race, call that number. Click on the links above for Birch Hill weather or a view through the Birch Hill webcam.
Several Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks races offer reduced entry fees for club members. If you are not a member, click here to download a membership form.
If you are a Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks member and you would like to enter all the Town Series Races, all the Distance Series races, the Sonot Kkaazoot, or any combination of those, download a comprehensive race entry form for the 2009-2010 season. You can enter all eight races for $80, saving $15 over the regular price.
Also available is a NSCF competition schedule for 2009-2010. This includes NSCF events and other Alaska and National events of interest to NSCF members. This schedule is updated periodically with minor changes as necessary.
We can only put on races thanks to the generosity of our race crew volunteers. We have a great race crew, and spending part of a day as a member of our race crew can be lots of fun. If you would like to volunteer to work at one of the races listed below, please e-mail our volunteer coordinator.
Click here to view the weather conditions at Birch Hill at this moment, or you can call the weatherphone at 457-4837 or the racing hotline at 474-4434. Click here to link to the Weather Underground's Fairbanks weather page. Here is a link to a graph of temperature trends at Birch Hill over the past seven days. This should be very valuable for helping with wax and checking out temperatures at the venue, compared to what is going on at the airport.
Please keep in mind that the weather on this page is given for the Fairbanks International Airport, not Birch Hill. Frequently Birch Hill is 10-15 Fahrenheit degrees warmer than the temperatures at the airport, and inversions of 25-30 Fahrenheit degrees are not unheard of. The conditions at the airport MAY OR MAY NOT resemble the conditions at Birch Hill.
In addition to offering many racing opportunities for nominal entry fees, the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks pays for all grooming at Birch Hill through donations for trail users. Be sure to donate to the trails fund so that we can continue to enjoy great tracks.
