A website dedicated to documenting the History of Cross-Country Skiing in the United States.
crosscountryskihistory.us is a website dedicated to gathering in one place as much of the history of US cross country skiing as possible before that history is lost. Over the past several years too many “founders” of the sport have passed away before handing down their knowledge, history, biography and stories to the rest of us. Our objective is to prevent such a loss of history in the future. The best time to start on this project would have been 25 years ago, but better late than never.
We will depend upon you, the people of our sport, to provide content. There is far too much history for the small number of us who are starting up this project to make a meaningful dent in that history. This website will only become a valuable resource to the cross country skiing community if all of us make it work.
