History
The Lodi Area XC Ski Club was formed in November, 2005 with the mission of
providing local cross-country skiing. The Lakeland Hills Country Golf Club and
the City of Lodi have generously allowed the club to groom the golf course and
surrounding land for skiing. There is currently a 8 km groomed trail. All
grooming is done by volunteers on a shoe-string budget.
The Lodi Nordic Ski Team is comprised of middle school and high school
students that practice three days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
and usually one weekend day. In 2008, a Youth Ski Program was formed for
kids in primary and elementary schools (grades 1-5). There is also an adult
training group in development.
The club is supported by a Community Grant offered by the Sauk Prairie
Memorial Hospital Foundation to promote Wellness and Healthy lifestyle
choices.
Other sponsors include the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation,
Lodi Canning Company, Lodi Optimist Club, Rotary Club, the Kuenzi family,
Jake & Julie Jacobson, the Endres Family Jazzy Jersey Farm, and over 40 local
patrons.

Ski Tights

flashy ski tights made locally by an
alumni skier. Unfortunately, the tights
are no longer for sale for non-members.
