Canberra Cross Country Ski Club

Canberra Cross Country Ski Club is a welcoming and inclusive sports club located in Canberra, Australia. The club caters to all skill levels and interests in cross-country, Nordic, telemark, and back-country skiing. Whether you're an experienced skier looking for a new challenge or a beginner wanting to try something new, CCCSC is the place for you.

One of the main advantages of joining CCCSC is the opportunity to ski during the extended winter season. Members can enjoy skiing for months before the resorts open and after they close, avoiding crowded slopes and enjoying the serene beauty of the mountains. The club also appeals to bushwalkers who wish to explore the snowy winter landscapes and runners or skaters keen to experience racing on snow.

CCCSC offers a variety of activities and events for its members. The club supports the Come & Try Day and the ACT Ski Sale & Expo, providing opportunities for newcomers to experience cross-country skiing and learn more about the sport. Additionally, the club organises the Kosciuszko Tour Ski Race, lodge weekends in the mountains, ski tours, and social meetings in Canberra.

Membership fees for CCCSC are $50 for individuals and $75 for families, and membership can be conveniently completed online. The club also organises day, overnight, and longer ski tours from June to November, which are graded according to difficulty, terrain, and distance. These tours are led by experienced volunteer club members who ensure a safe and enjoyable skiing experience.

Club social meetings take place at the Hughes Community Centre in Hughes, Canberra. These meetings provide a great opportunity for members to socialise, share experiences, and stay updated on club activities. The next social meeting, with the topic of Photos and Socialising, will be held on May 22, 2024.

Canberra Cross Country Ski Club prides itself on being a place where cross-country skiing can be enjoyed as a leisurely tour or a thrilling sport. It offers a friendly community of skiers who are passionate about exploring the snowy landscapes of Canberra and the surrounding region. Whether you're a seasoned skier or a beginner looking to try something new, CCCSC is the perfect club to join.
