The Grand Prix hosted by Rikert Nordic Center and Middlebury College Snow Bowl

March 18, 2022 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

The Grand Prix

The Rikert Grand Prix is a 3-day race event hosted by the Rikert Nordic Center and Middlebury College Snow Bowl in Ripton, VT. Utilizing a mini-tour format, participants will test themselves in a freestyle prologue, a 10 kilometer classic mass start, and a final-stage pursuit-start hill climb. 

The Grand Prix offers something for every level of skier. With US Ski and Snowboard and New England Nordic Ski Association sanctioning, the event is geared towards elite athletes hoping to take home a cash prize as much as junior and master skiers looking to test themselves on race courses that will challenge and entertain. The Grand Prix will offer the final events of the NENSA Popular Race calendar with season-end awards and celebration on Sunday, March 20th. Come for one or two days of racing or step up to the plate to take on the ‘Green Mountain Triple’ and race Vermont’s first mini-tour!

We were thrilled to have Old Town Elementary schoo We were thrilled to have Old Town Elementary school join our Nordic Rocks program this year thanks to funding from the @killingtonworldcupfoundation and the @sharewinterfoundation. We’re also grateful to Old Town’s PE teacher and community volunteers for spearheading the program on the ground. Old Town Elementary is located right on the University of Maine at Orono ski trails and near the Penobscot Valley Ski Club so students in the Nordic Rocks program have next step opportunities to ski outside of school right in their own community. Below are a few thoughts from Old Town Elementary School students after their first ski session:

❄️ “My joy today was trying skiing and my goal is to try skiing hills next time.”

❄️ “I want to be a world champion skier!”
