For many years the Hanson family has been a part of Nordic skiing and Nordic ski racing. From back in the day's of the Kann Brothers shop at Mt. Hardscrabble & years of participating at the Nordic Woods "Bobby Schmidt's" races to now participating an Worldloppet events we have always tried to enjoy our Nordic recreation from a family friendly stand point. So starting in 2009 we discussed opening a shop in Rice Lake that geared itself to the recreation Nordic skier. Now in 2010 we are open and trying to bring a "New Approach to Nordic" with varied products, a different retail environment stop in and visit us.
