WELCOME TO THE OISRAN NORTHERN LEAGUE!
- This League is one of three Ski Leagues in OISRAN
- 150 high school student-athletes compete on 6 teams in races held at different locations in Central and Northern Oregon.
- We compete in a variety of races – interval starts and mass starts; classic and freestyle; pursuit races, sprint races, and relay races.
- The season culminates with a two-day state championship event, where we compete with skiers from all three OISRAN Nordic Leagues.
- This is a no-cut program, meaning any student may ski on their school team. We welcome novice skiers and non-skiers, as well as experienced racers.
- You need only to enjoy snow and outdoor adventures to join us.
