The Ely Nordic Ski Club is based out of Ely, Minnesota on the edge of the beautiful Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.  Although our town is small, we are a thriving ski and outdoor enthusiast community with a dedicated spirit of volunteerism.

The Mission of the Ely Nordic Ski Club (ENSC) is to promote cross-country skiing for fitness, competition, and wellness for both youth and adults throughout the Ely community and our membership.

The ENSC is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization federal ID #33-1124961, run by volunteers.  We focus our efforts towards the Hidden Valley Recreation Area (HVRA) located on the east end of Ely, MN.  As a club, our responsibilities include building & maintaining the trail system for year round use as well as maintaining and managing the Hidden Valley Chalet/facilities.  We also facilitate the machine grooming of the Trezona Trail which loops around Miner's Lake in Ely.

Your membership dues and donations play a critical role in the club providing these resources to our membership and other users of the HVRA including the Minnesota Youth Ski League program and the Ely Nordic Wolves Ski Team.
