What we’re about
Meet other locals who are interested in cross-country skiing, both skate and classic. Our members are a wealth of knowledge of local parks and trails, as well as gear and technique. All skill levels are welcome. Join us for skiing weekday evenings on metro area lit trails, or longer skis and daytrips at metro and state parks. We'll try to get in a few special events in our short season, such as full moon skis and the Luminary Loppet.
