Nordic skiing is the best way to travel over snow.
You don't have to:
- carry your snowboard up long slopes. Nordic skis allow you to ski uphill.
- slog on snowshoes across snowy meadows. Nordic skis allow you to slide across the flats.
Come enjoy the freedom of the wintry mountains with us. Membership: Open to Sierra Club members who subscribe to Snowflake newsletter by sending US Postal Service mailing address (snail-mail), Sierra Club number and $7 check (payable Sierra Club) to Membership Chair, Todd Yuen.
To have a free Snowflake issue sent by mail to you, E-mail your name and USPS mailing address to the X-Country Nordic Ski Touring Section at xcnsts@aol.com.
The cross-country skill classifications are:
- Beginner—has no cross-country skiing experience;
- Novice—has taken lessons;
- Intermediate—is able to ski cross-country in gentle terrain on tours exceeding 5 mi;
- Experienced—a good skier able to traverse rough mountainous terrain on tours exceeding 10 mi.
