Yukon Ski Marathon & Masters Nationals

Received from Whitehorse Nordic. Dec 2024

I hope this email finds you well!  My name is Fran Nyman and I am part of the organizing committee for the Yukon Ski Marathon (March 8, 2025), a premier cross country ski event held annually in Whitehorse, Yukon.  As a fellow enthusiast for the sport, I wanted to connect with your nordic centre to explore ways we might share opportunities to grow the cross country skiing community.

This year, we are reimaging the Yukon Ski Marathon as part of the Pacific Northwest Loppet Series and we’re aiming to engage skiers and clubs across Alaska, Washington State, British Columbia and Alberta.  We would love to invite your club’s members to participate in the Yukon Ski Marathon.  And to share details about your club’s events with our network to encourage participation from Yukon skiers.

I am attaching a printable version of the Yukon Ski Marathon poster that you can print and display.  You can also follow us on social networks and share our publications on your own social networks to keep your skiers informed.

For those clubs in Canada - Whitehorse is also hosting the Canadian Masters Championships in February 2025 and I have attached the printable poster that can be displayed for skiers wanting to attend this week long event.

Thank you for sharing these posters!

Happy trails,

Opening Sat Dec 7th for Skiing

“We are excited to announce that, as of Saturday December 7, Kelowna Nordic Ski and Snowshoe Club (KNSSC) will have a limited early opening for Classic Skiing.” said President Marshall Moleschi.  “As more snow accumulates expect further announcements regarding Skate Skiing and additional trails.”

“The several kilometres of classic ski trails that are open will start from the main cabin." said Moleschi. "Plus, all snowshoe trails are open, and ready for your adventures. Come and enjoy your winter club; it’s affordable and it's closer than you think."

Kelowna Nordic’s main cabin is a half-hour drive from the outskirts of Kelowna. To get to the main cabin and its large parking lot, drive five kilometres past Big White Road, turn right onto McCulloch Road and in another five kilometres you have arrived at the main trailheads for both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

When fully open, Kelowna Nordic members and day users have access to 4 cabins and 75 kilometres of beautiful, wooded ski trails coupled with state-of-the-art grooming and track-setting for both classic and skate skiers. For snowshoers, there is a separate 80 kilometers trail network offering many panoramic views plus the use of the cabins.
