Tacoma Cross-country Skiing Committee

Cross Country Skiing is an excellent form of winter cardiovascular exercise performed on groomed trails or XC Ski Touring off track mountain road trails or areas.

Tacoma Cross Country Ski Committee offers  a beginner classic ski course. 

January 2026 Beginner XC Classic Ski Course  

The course includes two lectures (one in-person and one via Zoom)  and three field trips. Graduation requires attendance at the 2 lectures, all field trips, taking an avalanche awareness class (no additional cost), taking the online low-impact course (no additional cost), plus successful completion of one ski tour. In the classroom, we cover clothing and equipment, conditioning, preparation, and winter hazards. If you do not already have skis or boots, we advise waiting until after the equipment lecture before purchasing or renting. Check it out. 

Also, the Tacoma XC Committee is looking for Mountaineers interested in becoming a xc ski leader.

Please reach out to us to let us if you want to get involved.....a XC committee member, a ski leader, or help with teaching Beginning XC Skiing.
