North Stars Trip Policies

This is and extended north-star.org event which requires a membership or $20 for family/household for a year. The North Stars (north-stars.org) is approaching our 60th anniversary in 2027 with a continued mission to support cross country skiing and skiers in Minnesota. On our 50th anniversary we published a 50 years past and present publication highlighting the rich history of our club. All our extended trips are organized by members using a shared cost model. Other benefits of membership include weekly news letter Eloype in email , quarterly Loype with stories from our trips email or a printed version (higher member fee to cover cost of printing and mailing), access to all our extended trips, resources to be a trip organizer, access to our mobile app which makes it easy to have spur of the moment events like for example tomorrow morning and contributing to our extended trip fund which is used by trip leaders to cover initial reservation costs which sometimes have to be paid a year in advance. We are a non-profit.org 5013c with a volunteer board.
