Chisholm Ski Club and Black Mountain of Maine were hosts to both the 2003 and 2004 Chevrolet US Cross Country Championships. At these events, we witnessed a record field of North America's best nordic skiers and those skiers looking to represent the United States on the World Cup Cross Country Circuit.
     Since hosting this event in 1999, the Chisholm Ski Club has held the inaugural U.S. Sprint competition, which evolved into an Olympic event and a regular event on the World Cup tour.
     Racing rules and needs have changed, and it required changes to our course at Black Mountain. Provisions were also made for a new mass start which was needed for the 30 and 50 kilometer races, the final events of the week. All course changes were reviewed and received full compliance for FIS level competition.

The snow making system was expanded to cover 5km of the trail network, assuring the races went on in ideal race conditions. Mother Nature did her part by dumping a healthy dose of fresh snow for the racers. Excellent trail grooming assured that the courses stayed in world class condition throughout the week.      The 2005 US Cross Country Championships were hosted by Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah from January 3rd through January 10th.
