Central Cross Country Ski Association

The CXC Elite Team’s goal is to provide coaching, training and financial support to a select few individuals that possess the skill, drive and dedication to compete in World Cup, World Championship and Olympic competitions. Though we have a budget for domestic events, our success internationally requires your support.

In 2011, we have four athletes competing in World Championship events: World Juniors and World Under-23s in Otepaa, Estonia and World Championships in Oslo, Norway. The US Ski Team and National Cross-Country Ski Education Foundation offer some assistance to athletes during these events, but our goal is to fully fund the athletes who have qualified for these championships at pre-camps and for additional racing experiences. Three of CXC's athletes who were at World Juniors and U-23s were able to compete at Scandinavian and OPA Cup races in Estonia, Latvia and Norway, and with your support, their expenses will be covered.

Please consider donating to help US skiers realize their dreams. Our goal this winter is to raise $7,500.00 to fully support CXC athletes who are competing at the highest stage.

“Adopt a Sit-Ski” Program is a great way to support CXC Adaptive Program. This program offers an opportunity to “Adopt a Sit-Ski” for $250 for a year. Your donation will help to maintain sit-skis, skis and bindings. A special placard will be placed on the sit-ski with your name as a thank you for your donation.
