Ski Orienteering (known as Ski-O, for short) is a sport where skiers use a detailed map to find locations in unfamiliar territory. Local meets are held throughout the state in the winter. Ski orienteers can ski shorter courses or more advanced courses, which require greater navigational skill and endurance. Foot orienteering races are also held throughout the spring and fall seasons. Orienteering on foot is a great way to improve your skills for ski orienteering.
