About us

We are always looking for volunteers to lead weekend and/or evening events. Send us a message if interested.

Meet other locals who are interested in cross-country skiing, both skate and classic in season and other silent sports when there's no snow. Our members are a wealth of knowledge of local parks and trails, as well as gear and technique. All skill levels are welcome. This group is an extension of the North Star Cross Country Skiing Club established 1967.

Membership is encouraged at 20/yr/household but only required for participation in extended events. Every Year we have a number of extended Cross Country Ski Events locally, nationally and internationally that are published in October. For more information visit [North-stars.org](North-Stars.org)
