Land Acknowledgement: We acknowledge that our MyXC Saturday Ski Club resides within Mni Sota Makoce - A Dakota Place and that this land has been the homeland of the Dakota people and the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fire) for every generation since their creation at Bdote. Mni Sota - the land where waters reflect the clouds - is Indigenous land. We encourage all members of our ski community to join us in learning more about the people, contributions, sovereignty, and treaty rights of the Dakota People. The MyXC Organization and Club will continue to strengthen our relationship with Mni Sota’s eleven sovereign nations and indigenous communities, families, and athletes.

Welcome to the Hiawatha Saturday afternoon Ski Club. We are so excited about the 2025 ski season! Whether your family is new to cross-country skiing or you're a veteran Ski Club participant or volunteer, we are excited to have you in our club.

If you've ended up here looking for the Saturday morning club that is because the Saturday morning club has been merged with the Saturday afternoon club and the decision was made to keep the afternoon time.

Ski Club is volunteer-led and our success depends upon family involvement. We encourage every family to help in some way. For more information on volunteering or to sign-up please visit the MyXC website volunteer portal. Returning volunteers do need to do a new volunteer sign-up.

- THANK YOU to our awesome coaches, assistant coaches, and sweepers (these folks get advanced registration, too. Please sign up!)
- We are planning to have post-club snacks again this season so look for the sign-up as we get this organized.
- The Hiawatha Hustle is our capstone event at the end of the season and we will need lots of volunteers to make it an awesome afternoon! This is a fun, end of season, celebration of skiing with ALL Hiawatha Ski Clubs. This year the Hiawatha Hustle is scheduled for March 1st (Saturday) at 1PM. This is exciting news because this will be the first time that the Hustle is held on a Saturday. Hopefully the Saturday club members will come out and have a great showing representing the club.

Schedule

We will meet for eight Saturdays beginning January 4th, 2025 at Hiawatha Golf Course. Our last club meeting will be February 22nd.

***Please note that the first session or two we are going to be assessing the skills of skiers to ensure that we have groups that make sense skill-wise for Coaches. This is based on feedback from parents and coaches. Not sure which level your skier should be in? Check these skills cards or this link from SkiSparks for some idea. Due to the poor snow during the 2024 season returning skiers are advised to sign up for the same level they were in last season unless they aged out of that group and then should move up. We will also spend the first couple sessions making sure we have the right levels/groups for everyone. If you have any questions about level assignment please feel free to email.***

Session Location and Timing

We ski at the Hiawatha Golf Course and meet in the open area just south of the Solomon R. Hughes Sr. Clubhouse. Ski club starts at 2PM. Level 1 skiers will meet for 60 minutes. Levels 2-6 will meet for 90 minutes.


Registration

Registration is full. New registrations will be wait-listed.
