Encouraging winter fitness in a fun environment.
The Citizen Series is an annual gathering that promotes winter fitness in a non-competitive environment, focusing on community involvement. Participants can win exciting prizes through raffle-style drawings and participating in the event.

Race registration takes place inside the Joe Minder Lodge at the Ski Bowl every race day and starts at 5 pm. Registration closes at 5:50 pm, and the races begin at 6 pm with a mass start.
When registering, participants can choose to race on snowshoes or can classic or skate ski. The Ski Bowl's stadium course offers a professionally maintained and brightly lit track for racers to choose from. The distance options include 1.25K (1 loop), 2.5K (2 loops), 3.75K (3 loops), and 5K (4 loops) to cater to racers of different abilities.
These events are free for all ticketed guests and season pass holders. If you don't have a ticket or a season pass, you can still participate by paying a reduced twilight Nordic trail fee of $12, which includes registration.
