Winter Sports

Mt. Itasca is hosting Snojam, a snowboarding event, as well as the Redwing Central Division Championships of Ski Jumping Feb. 28-March 1, 2026, in Coleraine.

As some area lakes boast nearly 3 feet of ice during the deep freeze of winter, drivers compete week after week on a frozen racetrack in Laporte.

Minnesotans Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin are the first Americans to medal in the event, and Thiesse is the first American woman to ever medal in Olympic curling.

Cook County is the only rural Northern Minnesota school to qualify as a team; they were also the only team to have an individual athlete place in the top 10.

A unique winter sport, ski jumping has a long history in Coleraine, and jumpers continued its legacy this weekend in the Central Division Championship.

This Iditarod-qualifying race will be postponed until January 2025.
