The Algonquin Park Skiers' Association (APSA) is a group of cross-country skiers who appreciate the special qualities of the cross-country ski trails in the Park. Since 1991, APSA has worked cooperatively with Park staff toward the enjoyment of these trails by the skiing public.

• From 1992-1994, APSA helped restore the spectacular Fraser Lake and the lovely David Thompson loops of the Leaf Lake Ski Trail.
• Promoted and played a key role in building the new Airy bridge (replacing the old Airy trestle) allowing direct skier access from the village of Whitney to the 50-kilometre network of the Leaf Lake Ski Trail.
• Represented skiers' interests in the Park's improvement of the Pinetree Loop of the Leaf Lake Ski Trail.
• In 2004-05, in cooperation with the Couples Resort, Whitney, and the Ontario Trail Riders' Association (OTRA) assisted in rebuilding the Fraser Lake Loop of the Leaf Lake Ski Trail.
• Has provided the Park with survey data on skier use in Algonquin.
• Advises and works with Park staff and other trail users for good grooming, trail improvements, co-operative trail multi-use, and appropriate fees and permits.
• Assists the Park in publicizing the Park's winter program, notably the unique skiing.
  
• Provides a forum for Park skiers, and holds an annual February social get-together — usually in Whitney — for its widely scattered members and friends.
