DID YOU KNOW?
CXC and U.S. Ski & Snowboard's Membership Season runs annually from July 1
through June 30. However, online registration for the coming season opens around
May 1 to allow those attending summer camps to register and complete their
membership requirements early. Please contact U.S. Ski & Snowboard member
services for assistance if needed. They are available online at
membership@usskiandsnowboard.org, and by phone on (435) 647-2666 between 8-5 MT
Monday through Friday.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUTH GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
for youth skiers (13 & under) / $25.00
The Youth General Membership offers advantageous race seeding for U12 and U14
skiers, determined by points and rankings on the Divisional Ranking List. It
also grants medal recognition to U8, U10, U12, and U14 skiers at designated
entry-level regional competitions included in the CXC Youth Cup.
MEMBERSHIP Includes / CXC Ski Hat and Buff
Join or Renew
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS COUNTRY GENERAL MEMBERSHIP
for junior skiers (17 & under) / $55.00
By having a joint membership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, you gain entry
privileges, points, and Divisional rankings at specific regional competitions
like the CXC Junior Cup and CXC Adaptive Cup.
Should a skier holding this membership type qualify for the Jr. Nationals, an
officially sanctioned U.S. Ski & Snowboard event, they will be required to
upgrade their membership to the Cross Country Competitor (U16+) type in order to
gain access to the event.
THIS MEMBERSHIP DOES NOT INCLUDE THE U.S. SKI & SNOWBOARD NATIONAL RANKING LIST
(NRL) POINTS.
* Am I Current?
- Double-Check Here
* Membership Includes
- Inclusion on the Divisional Ranking List
- Seasonal athlete points profile and history
* DRL - Divisional Ranking List
Join or Renew
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CROSS COUNTRY COMPETITOR (U16+) MEMBERSHIP
for junior and senior skiers (14 & over) / $165.00
By having a joint membership with U.S. Ski & Snowboard, you gain entry
privileges, points, and Divisional and National rankings at specific regional
and national competitions like the CXC Junior Cup, Junior Nationals, Senior
Nationals, and SuperTour.
For dedicated skiers, obtaining this type of membership early in the season
offers significant advantages, as it enables the accumulation of U.S. Ski &
Snowboard points. These points are essential for securing favorable race seeding
at sanctioned regional and national events. By consistently improving
performance, skiers can earn lower points, which grant better starting positions
in both Junior National Team qualifying races and the Junior National Nordic Ski
Championships. This can be crucial, particularly in mass starts.
Moreover, high school upperclassmen aspiring to ski in college should note that
college recruitment can also be influenced by having low U.S. Ski & Snowboard
points.
PROACTIVE MEMBERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS / U18+ CXC Cup Competitors
We ask you to double, and triple check your U.S. Ski & Snowboard membership is
current!
1. AM I CURRENT? Double-check here
