Board of Directors
All Board members are volunteers and local residents,
who also happen to be avid Nordic skiers. With a wealth
of experience, ability, and diversity on our Board of
Directors, Mt. Shasta Nordic is poised for success in
future years. As a community-based organization, each
of us has a say in its operation and growth. Please
feel free to discuss with the Board members any of your
ideas, concerns, and desires to help. Likewise, let
it be known if you yourself are interested in serving
on the Board!
