Trail maintenance doesn't happen by magic, it takes a lot of time and resources from the local groomers. Help keep them on their snowmobiles by donating here! We have (6) trail systems, and a combined total of 70km of trails for all of us to enjoy. Our club operates on a donation-based budget, and there is no fee to become a member – maintaining our trails costs about $7500/yr. The DL Nordic Ski Club is a Non-Profit Organization operating under Minnesota 501C3 Status. All monies received go directly to maintaining trails and grooming equipment, gas, and personnel.
