Nordic Heritage Center to Host XC Ski Championships

Top skiers from the United States, Canada and from around the globe, will converge on Aroostook County to close out this winter’s ski racing season next week.

The U.S. Ski & Snowboard SuperTour Finals and L.L. Bean U.S. Long Distance National Championships are coming to Presque Isle’s Nordic Heritage Center March 28-April 2. Nordic Heritage previously had hosted the SuperTour Finals in 2007.

U.S. Nordic and Biathlon team members are expected to compete in Presque Isle, including the first American Nordic gold medalist, Jessie Diggins. A lot of the athletes are competing in the FIS World Cup Final in Quebec City this week leading up to this SuperTour Final.

Fans and spectators of all ages will have a wide variety of opportunities to join the fun at the venue. Anyone wishing to race, volunteer, or simply watch are welcome
