SKI NORTH ULTRA
Sat March 7, 2026
Ski North Ultra is an ultra-distance 100K cross-country skiing classic-only event along the North Shore of Lake Superior. The event has 38K and 100K options, following the Norpine, Cascade River State Park and Bally Creek trail systems near Lutsen, MN.
This is a unique cross-country ski event. It is classic-skiing only, and will be on a mix of double-track and single-track ski trails. The trails are incredibly beautiful, and also very technical. State park skiing can mean narrow, sharp turns, and the terrain along Lake Superior can mean long, 20-30 minute climbs, and sharp, steep descents. The 100K race uses advanced courses. The 38K stays on intermediate trails, but please consider if this is the right fit for your skill level. This is a tough course. March snow conditions can be varying, and can also be the most wonderful time of year to enjoy skiing. The event is more of an adventure than a race. Come with an open mind and adventurous spirit, and you will have a great day.
Start and finish in Cascade River State Park. Glide through birch, fir, cedar and pine forests, with overlooks of Lake Superior.
Experience the beauty of the North Shore by ski trail and then keep the vibes going with a post-race celebration. We will have handcrafted prizes from local artists.
See the website for more details and to register, and hope to see you in March!
