October 30, 2003 РNordic skiers can now plan their vacations on the Web. The recently launched xcskiresorts.com describes North America's top cross-country (xc) skiing and snowshoeing destinations. It is the only Web site with such an extensive coverage of Nordic ski resorts in both the USA and Canada with convenient links to descriptions and contact information about nearby accommodations, restaurants and apr̬s ski.

“At XCSkiResorts.com skiers and snowshoers can find xc areas in any region, get contact information, find out how many trail kilometers are offered and see the basic services and amenities that are available at each area,” says Roger Lohr, site editor.

Lohr has designed xcskiresorts.com to include xc ski news including special offers, events and activities as well as info about products of interest for xc skiers.

“Until the creation of xcskiresorts.com, there has never been a complete resource for planning a cross-country skiing vacation, whether for a week or a weekend,” adds Charles Leocha, co-creator of xcskiresorts.com. “We want to give vacationers a chance to easily compare cross-country ski resorts and facilities.”

XCSkiResorts.com is linked to the SkiSnowboard.com, which provides comprehensive information about accommodations, dining, Alpine skiing, resort facts, descriptions and current prices. “There is no other Web site that provides this combination of information,” notes Leocha.

XCSkiResorts.com is packed with more than 100 pages of information. And it is growing. The site can also be accessed at www.nordicskiresorts.com and www.crosscountryskiresorts.com.
