It may be brown and a bit dreary this December, but don't let that fool you – the enthusiasm of the High School Nordic ski team offers many reasons to cheer! Two meets have already happened and training is underway. Of course, preparation for the season actually began in the summer as the high school team transitioned from being a collaborative effort with Two Harbors to an independent Cook County High School Team. The transition created additional tasks from designing racing suits and jackets, writing grants (to be able to purchase those ski suits and additional ski gear), to sewing a new Cook County Ski banner (thank you, Volunteer Sallee)!
