Purpose of the club:

The stated purpose of the KSC is to promote cross country skiing, and particular, racing.
The club is a registered Washington State nonprofit corporation, run by members who are unpaid volunteers.
We depend upon our membership for funds and labor to maintain our facilities and programs.

Brief history:

The club, an offshoot of the Seattle Ski Club, was organized in 1954, by a hearty group of Norwegian ski jumpers, headed by Olav Ulland. They built a jumping hill and a small (8'x8') warming hut. The last jumping meet was held in 1974. With the elimination of ski jumping in our part of the country, our focus is now only on cross country skiing.
Our ski courses are entirely on Forest Service and Plum Creek land and are groomed by Washington State Parks and maintained by us with volunteer labor.

Club sponsored races:

Usually the club puts on races three weekends per season, in January, Gunnar Hagen Memorial in February, Kongsberger Stampede and in March Ozbaldy 50K.

Facilities:

Ski trails are located on the north side of Interstate 90, Exit 63 Cabin Creek (SnoPark parking lot, permit required).
