Program Costs:
Estimated total: $370
Families have two choices to register a student-athlete for a sports season:
Estimated total: $370
- 2022-2023 PSD athletic fee- $190. This goes directly to the district.
- 2022-2023 Pay-to-Play fee- Approximately $180 . This fee covers costs such as wax, bus rides, hotel stays, race entries, and more. It's a monthly 'pay-as-you-go' model to ensure equity. Payments are made online via SchoolPay at the end of each month--payments must be received before participating in the next month (i.e. once January fees are paid, skiers are allowed to participate in February). You only pay for what events you're involved with--it could be more or less than the estimated $180 depending what team you're on and what races you go to.
- Financial assistance is available through Poudre School District. Please don't let the fees impact your decision to join the team - talk to Coach Kyle to make arrangements.
- The pay-to-play fee does NOT include the additional costs below.
- Wax fee- Competitive team members ONLY ($30)
- Equipment- waxable classic skis and poles + skate skis and poles + boots (~$290)
- The most popular option for season rentals is our team rental program with the Steamboat Ski Touring Center (deadline for 21-22 season is 9/12/2021). If you're interested in renting equipment from them after the deadline, please reach out to Kajsa at kajsa@nordicski.net or 970-846-6908
- You can also contact Lone Moose Ski Shop in Laramie, WY for season rentals.
