This past weekend, Stride was the beneficiary of NENSA Women’s XC Ski Day hosted at Rikert Nordic Center. Truly an inspiration to be surrounded by the faces and stories of confident, resilient and ambitious women. Make sure to check out Trail to Gold: The Journey of 53 Women Skiers written by US Olympic Women Cross-Country Skiers from 1972 to 2018. Here’s to a full day of reminiscing and celebrating the accomplishments of our female ski athletes from the beginner level to the Olympic level. Thank you to NENSA, Rikert Nordic Center and all of the women who gave so generously to Stride and supported our mentoring efforts to empower girls to be strong athletes and future leaders.
