Important Notes

​The DXC SkiSparks page on the MYSL website gives details about the club and registering, but here are a couple important points:
 

  • ​We will cap registration to maintain a good skier to coach ratio. Register early!

​

​

  • This year, the DXC SkiSparks Club fees have been separated from Spirit Mountain Nordic pass costs to allow families to decide how to best purchase passes for their families. ​

    • Children Age 5 & Under?  Purchase a $29 SMRA Nordic Child Season pass  HERE

    • Children over 5 years old  who do not have a SMRA Nordic pass may pay the $35 registration lesson fee on the DXC MYSL registration page and then separately purchase a $45 SMRA Nordic pass specifically for the 8-week Ski Sparks session. A link to purchase this pass will be sent closer to the start of the lessons, or you may purchase it in person on January 7th. 

​

  • Already have a SMRA Nordic Season Pass? Club registration fee of $35 covers all other expenses.

​

  •  A limited supply of club rental skis are available, and may be checked out for the entire winter! These can be requested through the MYSL signup process. Spirit Mountain Grand Avenue Chalet also has rentals (for session use only).

​

  •  Scholarships are available!​

Welcome Message from DXC SkiSparks Leader

​Hello fellow skiers! As the DXC Ski Sparks Leader, it is a pleasure to invite you to join us for a fun ski season in partnership with the MYSL program! I first learned to ski just after finishing college while living in the peaceful northwoods. I had to find something to do, and cross-country skiing was the obvious choice, as I learned this is what we do here. It turns out, that is for good reason! Since learning to cross-country ski as an adult, I have enjoyed the snowy months of the year with such joy, both individually and with my family. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids as we learn, create memories, and share the love of skiing together.


-Molly Shoberg, DXC SkiSparks Leader
