The U.S. National Cross-Country Ski Championships are an annual national cross-country skiing competition. The results are frequently used to determine members of the United States Ski Team for competitions such as the Winter Olympic Games and Scandinavian Cup.[1]

History

[edit]

The National Ski Association of America, now U.S. Ski & Snowboard, was founded in Ishpeming, Michigan in 1905. The competition was first held in Lake Placid in conjunction with the Lake Placid Club, which would later go on to host the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1980.[2]

In 1969, women raced for the first time.[3][4]

In 1986, disabled competitors raced for the first time.[5]

In 2021, the competition, originally slated to be held in Houghton, was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Championships are scheduled to be held as Period 2 of the US SuperTour for 2026. If any remaining quotas for the 2026 Winter Olympics are open, it will function as a de facto Olympic trial, as with the previous Olympic Games.[6]
