The Northern Michigan University (NMU) Nordic ski teams are set to travel to Duluth, Minnesota, this weekend for the College of Saint Scholastica CCSA Invite. This event is part of the Central Collegiate Ski Association (CCSA) conference meet.
The competition will feature a 7.5km individual classic race on Saturday, February 1, followed by a 20km skate mass start on Sunday, February 2. Both races serve as NCAA qualification events under the CCSA.
The NMU team will compete at Spirit Mountain, which hosted last year's conference championships. In the previous year, the women's team achieved podium sweeps on both days of competition. The men's team also swept the podium on Saturday and secured two top-two finishes on Sunday, leading them to be named conference champions.
Weather forecasts for Duluth predict snow for both days of competition. Temperatures are expected to be in the 20s on Saturday and could range from mid-30s to single digits on Sunday.
Live results will be made available when accessible.
