Clubs (& membership)

Clubs

The Cross Country Ski Association of Manitoba is a volunteer-based organization that provides leadership and direction to achieving athletic excellence, individual achievement, and broad participation in the sport of cross country skiing.

In order to be a member of the Cross Country Ski Association of Manitoba, you must be a member of a club. Manitoba clubs are listed on this page.

Membership / events

For insurance reasons, all entrants of a CCSAM-sanctioned race must be members of a CCSAM member club or a CCC (Cross Country Canada) member club, or hold a CCC or FIS (Federation International Ski) race license. Non-members must purchase a Supporting Membership / Day License by filling out a Participant Waiver Form (Adobe PDF) in order to race. The Supporting Membership / Day License fee is $5 per participant per race ($4 for a Wednesday Night Race), and the form will also be at the race site.
Manitoba Cup points are awarded to event participants that are members of CCSAM member clubs.
