The Mass Nordic Program
The Massachusetts Nordic Program, known as Mass Nordic, is an umbrella organization bringing together athletes, coaches, and clubs to support junior cross-country ski racing across the state. Our goal is to make high-quality racing and training accessible to all Massachusetts high school skiers, while also preparing Team MA to compete at the Eastern High School and U16 Championships each March. Through the annual MA Nordic Cup and the MA Ranking List, we provide accessible, statewide racing opportunities and set a clear pathway for team selection. We also lead the Team MA trips to EHS and U16s and work closely with NENSA and community partners to strengthen racing and development statewide.

The 2026 MA Nordic Cup is Sun, Jan. 25, 2026, at Prospect Mountain in Woodford, VT. Registration via SkiReg opens Dec. 1.
