This is fantastic news for Huntsville High School and the Arrowhead Nordic Ski Club. Considering this year’s challenging snow conditions, these skiers had to work especially hard to train. They are to be commended for their dedication to this lifelong sport.
Congratulations to the skiers, their coaches and the the parents. All of those years of Jackrabbits at Arrowhead Park have paid off! You make us proud.
