Donations/Membership

The Pennsylvania Cross Country Skiers Association, PACCSA for short, has been in existence since 1983 and a non-profit corporation since 2004. Formerly called the Laurel Highlands Ski Touring Association, PACCSA is a volunteer organization that is dedicated to the development of the sport of cross country skiing in Pennsylvania and its tri-state region. Whether through general recreational uses, races, trailwork or sponsoring children's programs, PACCSA is trying to make the sport more enjoyable for everyone who participates in it. Membership fees go towards sponsoring the programs PACCSA offers and organizes for its members. All members should feel that, while being able to reap the benefits of membership, they are also helping to develop the sport in their region.
