Who We Are

We empower youth to be joyful, confident winter enthusiasts by building inclusive communities that reduce barriers to cross-country skiing.

MyXC (Minnesota Youth Ski League) is a network of local clubs in Minnesota and around the country, offering events and programs for skiers ages 4-15. Clubs are entirely run by volunteers and we have easy-to-use educational resources to help all parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles gain confidence and become our vital volunteers!
