2017-2018 Season Update

Thanks to all who contributed to our team uniform campaign last season!  With your help, we raised enough funds to purchase ski bags and 35 new updated uniforms.  Please check out our photos above and below from last season to see our new team uniforms in action!

This year, the final year of our two‐year fundraising cycle, we are looking to outfit the rest of the team and purchase the remainder of the uniforms (25 total).   Our goal is to have $6,000 in hand by October 15 in order to complete the purchase. 

If you are a new supporter of NKMNSC Youth Storm Ski Team or even if you contributed last year, please consider a donation in our 2017-2018 season to help us complete our team-wide uniform goal.  We are in the home stretch!  Thank you!





2016-2017 Season

Please help support the Northern Kettle Moraine Nordic Ski Club’s Nordic Storm youth ski team!  The NKMNSC Nordic Storm team brings together youth skiers in 5th through 12th grades from numerous school districts throughout Sheboygan and Fond du Lac counties.  Some skiers have been skiing competitively for years and are looking to compete in major ski races such as the Kortelopet or American Birkebeiner, and some skiers are trying on cross country skis for the first time looking for a new winter hobby.  All are welcome, and all come away from each ski season having developed:

- improvement in cross country skiing skill,
- a greater appreciation for the beautiful Wisconsin winter landscape, and
- a ridiculous amount of fun and camaraderie!

Don't believe it?  See our epic season trailer for yourself:


The ski team has grown and improved in recent years, but our uniforms have not!  Our uniforms were originally purchased in the early 2000’s, and have become faded and outdated.  When we attend ski competitions with other regional ski teams, our group does not look as comparatively cohesive and confident.  We also have more skiers than uniforms; last year, skiers needed to swap uniform pieces depending upon who was skiing in what race!  We would like to raise enough funds by September 1 to accomplish the following goals:

- New uniforms for all skiers
- Ski bags for all skiers – will help keep skiers’ classic skis, skate skis, and poles together and protected
- Some replacement skis/poles for those older ones worn out or broken beyond repair at the end of last season
- New skis/poles to accommodate additional skiers due to club growth

If you have children involved in select or club sports, you know the hefty price tag that comes along with it.  However, our ski club has the OPPOSITE philosophy.  One of the guiding principles of the NKMNSC is that EVERYONE should get the opportunity to ski.  This is why ski and uniform rental fees and program fees are kept low, with financial assistance available to those that need it.  Our dedicated coaches volunteer their time developing our ski program, mentoring each skier, and traveling to each race. 

If you are in a position to be able to contribute to the NKMNSC this year to help us achieve our uniform and equipment goals, please do.  This is a great way to thank our coaches for all they do for all of the kids!  You will receive a thank you letter from our Booster Club 501(c)(3) organization, and your contribution will be fully tax-deductible.  If this is not the time for you to contribute, please don’t feel obligated.  However, if you know of any friends, relatives, cross-country ski aficionados, Wisconsin outdoorspeople, or simply anyone interested in developing the next generation of outdoors-appreciating cross country ski fanatics, that might be interested in making a tax-deductible donation, please pass along our link.   All contributions are appreciated in any amount!  Thank you!
