Season outlook: Spruce Mountain’s Nordic team is in a developing stage. The Phoenix are working on recruiting greater numbers and working on the overall skill level for all of the skiers. More than half of the team does both Alpine and Nordic skiing. The combination of the techniques should work well in those skiers’ development. The Phoenix are looking to improve on their overall standings from last year.
