Event Description

The annual Carnival Classic Ski & Race is scheduled for February 6 at the Glacier Nordic Center at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course. Registration will open the week of the race, snow conditions permitting. There will 1k, 4k, and 12k races. All races will be classic technique starting in front of Grouse Mountain Lodge. In order to limit the number of people in the start area, racers will self-seed into groups of six people and groups will start one minute apart. Men and Women are scheduled to race together, but please be aware that we may have to adjust start times further depending on numbers of signups. Please see our website for detailed start times. Spectators will not be allowed in the start/finish area but are free to watch and cheer from elsewhere on the course. The cost is $5 for the 1k, $15 for the 4k, and $25 for the 12k. Registration for all races will close at 5pm the day before - NO same day registration. The first 50 participants will receive a Whitefish Winter Carnival buff. Costumes are encouraged! The theme this year for the Carnival is Survivor. This race is also part of the new Montana Nordic Cup series.
