Cross Country Ski Pittsburgh

We are cross country ski enthusiasts in Pittsburgh and all around the surrounding region who like to ski in a group both at major trail heads and also at parks, either in formed tracks or cutting fresh snow. Regardless of skill level from absolute beginners to instructor level, please join us!

We want you to get the most out of this group, it is open for any member to post their skiing plans so that you can seek other skiers to join you from your most casual to most involved ski outings. At the park, in the woods, or out on groomed trails, any time you're going, we'd love for you to mark it down in our calendar here to see if anyone can join you. We hope to be skiing with you soon!!

"I made a last minute decision after work yesterday to ski at Laurel Ridge and skiing in the tracks was effortless. It was very enjoyable. There was so much snow that hopefully some of it will last for a while."

"Best of luck for a speedy recovery on your shoulder Joanna. I second her plea for help in asking everyone to consider helping. Even scheduling just one meetup would be a great help. Please help. Thank you."
