Tour Duluth XC Ski Event Saturday, March 8th 2014

The Duluth XC Ski Club invites skiers of all ages and skill levels to visit their favorite trails and explore new ones. Ski 5k or 75k! Bring your family & friends, meet other skiers along the way, then join us at Hartley Nature Center at 5:30pm for music (The Riverside Bog Stompers), beer (Thirsty Pagan Brewery), food (Duluth Grill), and socializing. DXC board members will give a brief “year in review” presentation after dinner.

  • There is no fee to participate in Tour Duluth (skiers age 16+ must have a MN Ski Pass for City of Duluth ski trails).
  • Continental Ski & Bike and The Ski Hut are offering free rental skis for Tour participants!
