795,337 KM skied this season by our ski community. Thank you to everyone for participating! Final Results
While we continue to navigate the pandemic that in turn has changed our usual provincial programming, XCSO invites applications for 4 contract positions of District Development Coordinator, one in each of the 4 XCSO districts. The Development Coordinators will work with a strong team of professionals who are committed to developing a cohesive and collaborative approach to athlete development in the province. The Development Coordinators’ positions are collaborative in nature and working with club coaches will be an integral part of the role. More details here.
Due to the effects of the ongoing and evolving COVID-19 pandemic, Cross Country Ski Ontario has reviewed and modified provincial programming for the 2021-22 season. Given the unpredictable outlook for the season, particularly for “in-person” training camps, XCSO has modified our programming to reflect “what we can do”. Full details available here.
Registration on Zone4.ca
Questions can be directed to XCSO Technical Director Victor Wiltmann.

Thank you to our ski community for their commitment and efforts during the Government of Ontario’s Stay at Home Order. The government has indicated that the province will transition to the familiar colour coded system in a staggered approach. As health units transition to the colour coded system, programming can begin once again with all relevant public health guidelines in place. Clubs and coaches/leaders should become familiar what is allowed based on your District’s Health Unit colour status (link below). Please be reminded that all members access their local trails only and do not travel to other areas of the province.
Government of ON COVID-19 response framework: keeping Ontario safe and open
The Government of Ontario has issued a Stay at Home Order (news release & regulation). At this time, cross country ski facilities (page 26) can remain open for exercise and mental health. Please note that in person team training, club programming, coaching courses continue to be prohibited. It is imperative that all members access their local trails only and do not travel to other areas of the province.
