XC Skis are first come, first serve. If you'd like to borrow gear (including skis), please submit your request to the gear library. We only have a few kid sizes, but should have enough adult skis. If we do not have skis that fit you, you'll have to rent them for the day from REI or another vendor.

If the trails at Crystal Springs don't have good snow conditions, we'll go snowshoeing or hiking as a backup.
