GENERAL INFORMATION: Anchorage Junior Nordic League is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching Anchorage kids the lifelong sport of cross-country skiing. We are a parent-run group affiliated with the Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage (NSAA).

Lessons are for kids ages 6 to14 and we meet at three sites in town: Hillside Park, Kincaid Park and Russian Jack Springs Park. All groups ski three days a week: 2 weeknights and Saturday. Our first session starts in November and our second session begins in January. We have skis available for rental on a first come-first served basis.

Skiers must have their own poles and boots with NNN2 bindings. For more detailed information on scheduling, registration, and fees, go to Junior Nordic Info.
