ABOUT
North America’s premier Nordic-cross event, NordicX is a community oriented experience that brings together some of the world’s fastest skiers with local youth and families in a fun, action-packed event with springtime vibes. With a festival feel, great food and beverages, along with firepits, music, and a vendor village, this thrilling experience creates an atmosphere unlike any other Nordic ski event.
CORE PILLARS
Community Development
NordicX brings together people, families, and activities that don’t normally blend in a vibrant fusion of sport and community.
Healthy and Active Youth
NordicX is literally inspired by the zestful exuberance of children, and creates a unique atmosphere for them to challenge themselves.
Positive Role Models
The nature of the NordicX event synergizes a mixing of world-class, positive role models with local families and children, giving Alaskan youth an almost unmatchable access to those who inspire us all.
Breaking the Mold
NordicX is outside the box, no doubt about it. There’s not another ski experience like it. NordicX fuses cross-country skiing with the adrenaline-filled excitement of freestyle skier cross, and is North America’s premier Nordic-cross event.

“Nordic X is such an amazing way to bring the community together to enjoy the root of skiing; balancing and playing on skis as you navigate jumps, bumps, corners, and obstacles. Whether you are the best skier in the world, or a pure beginner- this event welcomes you to challenge yourself and maybe even learn a trick or two. It’s a family friendly way to join in the celebration of sun, snow and an incredible community of skiers of all levels. Whether racing or spectating, you feel you are part of the Nordic X show!”

“NordicX is one of the coolest races I’ve ever been apart of. Seeing so many different people come together and share a rad day at Hilltop made this entire event a highlight of my ski career and I already can’t wait for the next one!”

“I can’t think of a better way to end the race season! After months of high pressure races, nothing could be more heart warming than an event centered on having fun with our friends and family. Music, food, community, and hitting jumps on skinny skis. What more do you need to have a good time?”
