Option #3.) Pay on-line via Active.com. With this option you'll pay (no added processing fees) and provide membership info in one step.

About American Cross Country Skiers

The mission of the AXCS is to provide exemplary services and membership benefits to all members while promoting and supporting cross country skiing throughout the United States.

American Cross Country Skiers (AXCS) is the U.S. national membership association for adult citizen XC skiers (aka "masters"). Founded in 1998, the AXCS serves U.S. master skiers with a wide range of education, promotion and communication programs. AXCS also is the officially recognized USA representative organization within the World Masters Association. AXCS membership benefit package has received international acclaim as one of the very best value-for-dollar benefit packages in not only the entire sport of XC skiing (all ages and abilities) -- but worldwide masters endurance sport as well. Skiers of any age and interest are welcome to join American XC Skiers at any time. Skiers ages 25+ are eligible to compete for national masters titles in the U.S.A. (30+ years at the international Masters World Cup). Note: AXCS has developed a new international membership for skiers living outside the USA focusing on our highly-valued media benefits -- please ask!

Think you have to be a "serious racer" to be interested in AXCS membership? Think again. Citizen skiers and racers of literally all abilities, interests, and an incredible range of ages all find AXCS membership to be an indispensable part of their annual ski seasons. You'll discover that we are a fantastic resource for all devotees of groomed skiing even if you never toe the start line.

Of course, if you are a racer (serious, semi-serious, not-serious-at-all-but-like-to-look-good-whenever-possible, etc.), you simply cannot find a better investment in your skiing. No other national organization exclusively focuses on adult citizen skiers/racers...your interests, your needs, your community, your life.

The American Cross Country Skiers (AXCS) is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit membership organization based in Bend, Oregon. An eleven member AXCS Board of Directors consisting of volunteer representatives from every division in the United States snow region directs all operations of the AXCS.
