Hello all! Welcome to Casper and the 2020 Don & Susan Jacobson Memorial Nordic Ski Meet. This meet is honor of two of our heroes, and true pioneers of High School Nordic skiing in Wyoming. Simply put, Nordic skiing in the state of Wyoming would not be what it is today without the Jacobson family. Don, was one our first and long-time coaches in Casper, he had a life-long love of his wife Susan and kids Erik and Erin. One of Don's great joys in life was sharing his love for the lifestyle that is Nordic skiing with everyone. Don was a World Loppet member, competing in races in 10 different countries. Always with the support and cheering from Susan! Don passed away in the summer of 2014, and Susan joined her life partner in the fall of 2019 after a courageous battle with blood cancer and Alzheimer's. They left behind a legacy for our state’s Nordic community which will never be forgotten. You can bet that Don and Susan will be out there with you and your teams this weekend as you carry on the tradition which they helped create all those years ago!
