NENSA Membership
NENSA membership fuels lifelong learning, personal growth, and community-building through cross-country skiing.
As a nonprofit organization, membership is our most essential source of support
Your support provides critical funding that keeps our operations running year-round. It funds programs for skiers of all ages and levels, from youth and grassroots initiatives to adult events and elite development. It also helps us offer low- and no-cost programming, expand access, and create a more inclusive and vibrant Nordic ski community across New England.
Beyond its individual benefits, your membership strengthens the entire cross-country ski ecosystem in the Northeast.
Thank you for being part of the NENSA family.
Being a NENSA member means being a part of a passionate community that supports, grows, and celebrates cross-country skiing in New England. Membership provides access to discounted event entries, exclusive sponsor offers, educational resources, athlete development opportunities, and club and youth program support – all while helping NENSA expand year-round programs and grow a vibrant, inclusive ski community for all.

Renewal Instructions
Single Individual Membership
- Log into our Membership Portal here. A password is now required to log in. Set one up by pressing “Having trouble logging in?” at the bottom of the login page.
- Once logged in, click “Membership Status, Renewal & History” on the left side menu.
- Click the “Rejoin Now” button under the “Memberships” header.
Multiple Individual Memberships
- If you are currently logged into a Membership account, LOG OUT. You cannot renew multiple memberships from one account. Each account/membership needs it’s own login.
- On the Membership Portal login page here, click the “Having trouble logging in?” link at the bottom of the page. That will send a reset password link to your email address (titled NENSA Password Reset). Click the link in that email.
- The Create/Reset Password window that pops up should list all accounts under your email (see example screenshot below).* Set a password for the first membership you’d like to renew.
- Log in and renew that membership.
- Then go back to that reset password link in the NENSA Password Reset email and repeat steps 2 and 3 for each additional membership.
*If you are not seeing all the accounts you would like to renew, it is likely because they are not under a single email address. Reach out to membership@nensa.net and we can update account email addresses.

Thirty years ago, I got my NENSA membership number. I was unsure whether this new organization was worth joining but Executive Director Fred Griffin assured me that I would get my money back if I did not think so. Well the rewards have been manyfold. Now I have a Lifetime Membership and NENSA continues to be an integral part of my passion for the sport of cross-country skiing.
