Membership - More than just Nordic Skiing!

Whether you are a skier, a sculler, a runner, a bird-watcher, a walker, a biker....or none of the above - we invite you to join the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. Membership runs for a full year and offers you unlimited Nordic skiing and summer trail access plus a wide range of activities, events and opportunities related to lifelong sports, sustainability and the environment. In addition, your membership helps support projects related to the mission of the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, now beginning its second year as a non-profit organization.

Membership gives the holder:

• Unlimited trail use '09-'10 (Note that not all winter trails are summer accessible, and vice versa).
• An ongoing series of member events of all kinds - like cider pressing, naturalist hikes, and the popular ergo circuit training class, to name a few.
• Access to Craftsbury Nordic Ski Club (CNSC) programming. This includes regular training & racing programs for skiers from kids to masters. Note: there is an additional fee for these programs.
• Access to the Hosmer Youth Rowing Club (HYRC) programming and other sculling and training opportunities. Note: additional fees for these programs.
• Ski Rental discounts of 20%.
• The Craftsbury member e-newsletter
• One free day of skiing at any participating Vermont Ski Areas Association (VSAA) Nordic ski area.
• And much more to come...

We welcome additional contributions of any amount. Your support will help make possible such projects as the following:

• A lending equipment pool for growing, aspiring racers whose pocketbooks haven't caught up with their desire to ski.
• Travel and race expense scholarships so that financial need never keeps a keen athlete skier from their chance to perform.
• Trail expansion and improvements to the new non-profit Center's 85k of trails.
• School Ski programming for local communities.
• Support for the athletes of the Green Racing Project and the Small Boat Training Center as they chase their Olympic dreams
• Lots more initiatives to come - all focused on supporting lifelong, healthy activity for all ages.

Membership runs for a year, from November 1 to October 31.
