How YOU Can Help Support Junior and Elite Methow Valley Skiers

The Nordic Club is one branch of the Methow Valley Ski Educational Foundation, which is an official 501c3 non-profit organization. The other branches are the MV Nordic Team, Methow Valley Biathlon, and Methow Olympic Development. You can support junior and elite-level nordic skiers by making tax deductible contributions to

Methow Valley Nordic Ski Educational Foundation (MVNSEF)
PO Box 391
Winthrop, WA 98862

Please designate one of the above groups for your donation. And remember, participating in our camps, clinics, and classes also supports developmental skiing!

New for 2011-2012, there is another way to support Methow Valley skiers. The Elite Opportunity Fund provides financial support to eligible graduates of the MV Nordic Team program who have been selected by a national governing body (USSA, USBA) in one of the Nordic disciplines to compete in sanctioned international events or training camps. The MVNSEF recognizes the considerable financial difficulties faced by promising post-junior team skiers in their efforts to compete and succeed at the international level, and the very limited support provided by USSA and USBA.

Four skiers have qualified for this support in 2011. They are:
Sadie Bjornsen
Erik Bjornsen
Brian Gregg
Casey Smith

Please consider making a donation to help these athletes reach the highest levels of the sport. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Send donations payable to

MVNSEF Elite Opportunity Fund
PO Box 1063
Winthrop WA 98862.

For more information about the Elite Opportunity Fund please contact Mac Dunstan.
