ABOUT TWIN CITIES SKI CLUB
TCSC was founded in 2020 as a way to introduce young adult cross-country skiers in the Twin Cities to one another during a time when creating community was at its most difficult. Now in 2025, we have our biggest team yet, but we still hold true to the same values: we provide educational training opportunities and emphasize community in the cross country ski space at a cost meant to encourage all skiers to get involved. In short, we put skiers on snow, and even on podiums, surrounded by their friends and without breaking the bank.
WHO JOINS TCSC
Young Adults
TCSC is a group built for young adults in the Twin Cities area. For that reason, we currently limit new registration to skiers 21 - 35 years old.
​
Ski Experience
We only ask that our members have an intermediate grasp of cross-country skiing! We do not vet based on ability. We aren't able to provide beginner-level lessons at this time, but we can recommend the Three Rivers and Loppet Foundation lessons for those who are just starting their ski journey.
​
Community Driven
TCSC is committed to providing a crucial third space to young, active adults in the Twin Cities. For more about this, check out our Community Page​
