Northfield Ski Meet - Tuesday, January 18, 2011
The Carleton College trails at the Upper Arboretum in Northfield, MN were the venue for a ski meet with Northfield High School. The Rochester Nordic Ski Team had 77 skiers enjoy the open prairie and wooded terrain of the race course which included several technical downhill curves.

Winona Ski Meet - Tuesday, January 11, 2011
The Rochester Nordic Ski Team traveled to the Winona bluff country to enjoy the hills of the St. Mary's University ski trails. 61 skiers joined the Winona ski team in a 5K skate race. Several inches of new snow made for some soft conditions - but was much better than the hardpack/ice that the new snow covered.
