Welcome to the message board of the Ellensburg X-C Ski Club . Ellensburg is located in central Washington State, on the east slopes of the Cascade Range. Our club members are primarily interested in various forms and degrees of "back-country" skiing, i.e. we are not a track-skiing or racing club. We have hundreds of miles of logging roads, trails and off-trail ridges and valleys just out the back door. Although the Cascades are famous for "Cascade Concrete", we have no trouble finding great snow both during mid-winter and in spring. Here on the drier,colder east slopes, skiing can extend into May or even June.
Our message board provides a forum for the sharing of all sorts of ski information. Sign up, sign in and post reports on your ski adventures past, present and future, find new ski buddies and/or post announcements about ski related events.
For maps and trail descriptions for some of our favorite ski spots plus weather and snow safety links, photos and more, please visit our website at:
