CONGRATULATIONS!!! and Thank You for being a vital link to our development programs here in Far West. These athletes will be training with the Far West Nordic Junior Teams, fund-raising for Far West Nordic, doing Community Service, blogging, and RACING for Far West Nordic!
We are pleased to welcome them all to our team. Please stay tuned to the Far West Farm Team page for blog updates from the athletes. Please support them and cheer on their efforts when you see them.

These athletes are an important part of our mission to produce top quality training, racing, and cross country skiing environment in the Far West Division. They will be working closely within the divisional Ski Clubs by volunteering and helping out at Junior practices. This is especially important for the perpetual motivation and development of our Junior skiers. They will also help boost the quality of Master skiing in our area by providing help with clinics/coaching and race/training day competition.
The Far West Nordic "Farm Team" is a stepping stone to the USST or US National Team.
