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.
Join the fun and excitement of cross country skiing at it's best! Annual membership is just $35.00(US) with a portion of every membership going towards XC ski development projects throughout the U.S. ski community.
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.
