A Passion for Nordic and Alpine Skiing Starts Here

The Crystal Community Ski Club (CCSC) is a local non-profit organization dedicated to growing a lifelong love of skiing and snow sports in our region. Based right here at Crystal Mountain, CCSC offers high-quality, community-focused programming for youth and families interested in both alpine and nordic skiing.

Whether your child is new to the snow or dreams of racing gates and gliding through wooded trails, CCSC provides a welcoming, encouraging environment to build skills, confidence, and community. We're also deeply committed to affordability, with scholarships available to ensure access for all.

Programs for Every Level

CCSC runs a range of seasonal programs designed for skiers of all levels, from beginners to advanced athletes. Programs typically begin in late fall with dryland training and carry through the winter season with on-snow sessions. Offerings include:

  • Youth Learn-to Programs
  • Nordic Race Programs
  • Alpine Race Training and Competition
  • Junior Instructor or Patrol Programs
  • Holiday Race & Freestyle Camps

All programs are led by certified coaches who focus on skill development, sportsmanship, and of course, fun.

A Community-Driven Mission

CCSC is more than a ski club—it’s a place where friendships are formed, goals are celebrated, and a passion for outdoor adventure is shared by all. The club fosters an inclusive community for kids and families across northern Michigan and relies on the dedication of volunteers, parents, and supporters to make every season a success.

Our commitment to community outreach is strong, with over 750 youth participating in a CCSC program in partnership with their schools.
