I. OPPORTUNITY CENTER INITIATIVE
At the outset, the primary CXC initiative is the introduction of grass roots “Opportunity Centers” throughout the Midwestern snow belt. The goal of the Opportunity Centers is to establish a model that can be adopted by ski areas and clubs around the region and beyond. Selected ski areas and clubs in the Midwest can qualify as Opportunity Centers to offer loaner equipment and provide clinics, instructions and events.
CXC will supervise these centers in developing skills and ability-appropriate trail systems, provide staff and instructor’s education and ensure facility accessibility.

II. OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM INITIATIVE
CXC has partnered with several programs to provide them with cross country sit skis to help with the advancement of cross country skiing in adaptive sports. Some of the listed Opportunity Programs are existing programs that offer a wide range of adaptive sports, instruction, and rentals. These programs are each run differently, so it is important to read through the information about the specific area before being in touch with them about sit skiing.
Opportunity Programs are not regional programs. They exist around the US, and are being established to help bridge the gap between able-body skiing and adaptive skiing everywhere. We are also committed to Opportunity Programs to help organizations who offer adaptive snow sports open the door to cross country skiing.
