If you choose our premium membership, the CCCSA will list all Nordic and non-Nordic events related to and provided by your organization on our website, social media venues and in our newsletters.

Networking

We believe identifying and connecting with the movers and shakers of our industry will help us spread our word more efficiently and quickly. We will try to identify sponsorships and relationships with like-minded organizations.

Also, our biannual meetings allow us to share experiences and trends in the Nordic world. We work in a spirit of cooperation to support Nordic skiing and snowshoeing programs and to promote Colorado as the premier places to enjoy Nordic sports.

Social Engagement

We leverage our community of Nordic enthusiasts to help spread the love of our sport. We will feature your resort in varies ways across our social media channels, email newsletter, blog posts, and more.

Advertising

Currently we place our efforts online, as we find we can get more bang for our buck and direct people to our website with ease to ensure you receive the most exposure possible. With pay-per-click advertising, we can ensure our message in as many places as possible during prime ski season.

Additionally, we are members of the National Cross Country Ski Areas Association (CCSAA) with a direct link from their website to ours. You will find us advertising on various industry websites.
