Snekkevik Ski Race

The Snekkevik Ski Race is the second oldest continuing organized ski race in the state.  In 2023, the event was scaled back to a High School and Middle School race only and moved to the golf course due to conditions at Nine Mile. Over 300 youth skiers attended skiing a classic race and was a very successful event. 

Wausau Nordic Ski Club will hold the Snekkevik at Tribute Golf Course on January 6, 2024 on the trail we created last season.

Cooperative Event with IronBull

A cooperative event with IronBull will be held on January 27, 2024 on the Tribute Golf Course trail. This new unnamed event is being planned as a time limited, multi-lap event, similar to the 24 Hours of Nine Mile, where competitors compete as teams or individuals, with varying time categories.
 

We are hoping that this new event will appeal to a broad array of skiers who are more focused on their personal goals or competing as teams that bring friends together for a joint challenge. We will be looking for help in organizing and marketing the event to the broader ski community, not just the usual crowd of racers.
