RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Off of Old Mount Rose Highway, Nevada Nordic, a local nonprofit, is making cross-country skiing accessible to all. Despite a slow winter season, the community involvement remains strong as groomed paths provide an outdoor fix for enthusiasts.
Nevada Nordic thrives on community donations rather than trail fees and welcomes everyone to experience the joy of cross-country skiing on their multi-use trails.
