Richmond, VT — Cheers to the folks at Cochran’s Ski Area in Vermont who just hosted the 10th edition of their incredible Nordic X Race which takes the best aspects of cross country skiing and spices them up a bit with some unique obstacles and jumps.
“A festive and competitive citizens Nordic Ski Cross Race for all ages. Hilarious, challenging and loads of fun!” -Cochran’s Ski Area
This years winners were Ben Ogden from the men’s catagory and Greta Kilburn on the women’s side. It’s not everyday you see a backflip ending to a nordic race and we absolutely love it:
“Take a few dozen backflips, a whole lotta berms, and a few hundred of the world’s most fun nordic racers and you’ve got yourself quite a party. Thanks for sharing a day filled to the brim with slushy spills and maple-soaked pancakes. You all are the best. 10th annual Cochran’s Nordic Cross, success!

As the last event of the year, that’s a wrap on the 2025/2026 Cochran’s ski season. It was an incredible one. Countdown to biking starts now!!” -Cochran’s Ski Area
