Celebrate the original style of Nordic skiing at this year's Old Skool Klassic: the classic or striding technique. Unlike our friends at Far West Nordic, who are tech savvy enough to use Strava, we’re old skool, which means we’ll accept your time if its recorded on a Timex start and stop wrist watch. A smart phone. An app like Strava. One bread crumb dropped for every minute you’re skiing. All we ask, is that you be honest about your time and stay true to the course.
