The BSF Nordic Development team took 21 athletes, ages 9 to 14, to the Intermountain Youth Championships in McCall, Idaho. They were joined by athletes from Big Sky Ski Education Foundation and Glacier Nordic. "It was exciting to bring athletes, coaches, and parents together from across the state, and we collectively referred to ourselves as Team Montana throughout the weekend," said BSF's Head Devo Coach Jessie Kay.

"Clad in unicorn crowns and glitter, our athletes raced boldly and coaches were proud to see so many courageous performances in the skate, classic, and skier cross events," Kay added.

Highlights of the weekend included bringing home the Team Sportsmanship Award, recognizing BSF's team spirit, helpfulness, and inclusion at the event and watching Coach Paul crush the coaches race in a unicorn suit!
