- XC Chelsea Masters was incorporated in 1998 by a group of passionate Ottawa and Chelsea based skiers who believed adults deserved the same high-quality coaching, structured training, and sense of community traditionally available to younger athletes. Our founder and longtime President, Natalya Kuziak, established the club to create a welcoming environment where masters skiers could compete locally, nationally and internationally while improving their technique and building fitness. Our original focus was skiing to compete and race.
- XCCM has since grown into one of Canada’s leading masters cross-country ski clubs, and our focus has changed.
- What began with a small group of enthusiastic ski racers has now evolved into a year-round community offering a variety of dryland and on-snow coaching, training camps, clinics, social events, and opportunities for skiers of all abilities to challenge themselves and enjoy an active lifestyle. The focus has broadened from racing to embracing a performance mindset.
