C2 Sponsors the NNF – Congratulations Joe Howdyshell!
The NNF is proud of our industry partners. Concept 2 generously supported our Drive for 25 with the donation of a new C2 Ski Erg double pole machine. That machine was raffled off to our ambassadors and the winner is Joe Howdyshell, Summit Nordic Ski Team coach. Upon learning he’d won the C2 Ski Erg, Joe was thrilled, “We had a lot of fun just getting people involved in the D25. This is really the icing on the cake.” Joe explained that his new machine will reside in his team’s clubhouse and be used for junior training.

Many thanks to Concept 2. We’ll have more winners from more ski industry partners soon!

Get cracking, Joe!
