Kick off a new season at the Annual Meeting in November.  Find out what the club accomplished last year and hear about new goals and dreams.  Meet the Board of Directors and candidates to be elected at the meeting (current members are eligible to vote) and sign up for volunteer opportunities. Don’t forget it’s a fun potluck with an amazing auction to get you set for the season.

Barter, trade, sell, or give away your winter and ski gear. Winter clothing, winter gear, skates, snowboards, and of course skis, are all welcome.

The Homer High School Ski Team will be available to wax skis as a fundraiser for the Ski Team.

This is an important review/ refresher for all KNSC groomers and an opportunity for those interested in becoming a groomer to sign up and learn the basics.

Bring your Holiday leftovers and try out your new winter gear.  Ski anytime between 9 am and 4 pm.  Try for one of the following categories: Ski Your Age in Kilometers, Join the Century Club by Skiing 100 MINUS your age in Kilometers, Ski the most kilometers as a family, Ski 50 Kilometers, or make your own category!

This is a unique ski experience for all ages and abilities.  We will "Light up the Night" Friday night with torch and candlelit trails. Skiers are encouraged to ski by headlamp and wear lights. The moon is full (or close). There will be a warming fire and hot chocolate.  Stay after skiing to enjoy the fire and the company.

Homer’s Ski for Women is sponsored by Haven House.  Costumes are encouraged with prizes for a variety of categories.  The donation goes to Haven House with larger donations always welcome.  KNSC is paid a fee for grooming and organizing the event.

The Winter Backcountry Film Festival is co-sponsored by the Alaska Quiet Rights Coalition and the Winter Wildlands Alliance.  Films are part of a juried competition and a celebration of the human powered experience to protect winter landscapes. The location is Homer Theater.

Tour some of KNSC’s trails with two stops along the way for wine, cheese, and good company.  Participants are encouraged to use their wooden skis and/or dress in classic costume.  Time to dig out those wool knickers, wool socks, fur parkas, etc...  Door prizes will be drawn at the last stop.

The KNSC Nordic Ski Marathon is traditionally a marathon length (26.2mi or 42K) point-to-point race starting at Lookout Trails and ending at the lower Baycrest Trail system.

The race goes through remote, challenging and most beautiful terrain in Alaska.

25km and 13km distance races also offered.

The Sea to Ski Triathlon is a fun way to end the season on the weekend closest to April Fools day as you have to be a true April Fool to come out!  It includes a 5k run, 7km bike, and 5k ski. It can be done individually or as a team.  Location is determined by snow levels.

Clinics are offered throughout the season as need dictates and instructors are available.

Watch social media and the KNSC newsletter for these opportunities.

Join us as we raise a toast to our volunteers /groomers who make skiing Homer trails possible.

We are the luckiest skiers in the state to have these world-class trails, let’s make sure our groomers know we appreciate them!
