The Skihawks Nordic racing team is comprised of athletes with developmental disabilities who meet at Snoqualmie pass on Saturdays during the winter to enjoy the challenges and fun of skiing, all while training to compete in Special Olympics ski races, locally and internationally.  The team was created about 20 years ago, and several of the athletes have been participating for many of those years, coming back year after year, as the volunteer coaches do once they get hooked.

 

See you on the slopes!
