Prince George, BC- Next February, the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club will hold its first, FIS sanctioned cross country ski event in nearly a decade.

 

Top skiers from across the country will be coming to Prince George to take part in the 2014 Harwood Noram Western Canadian Cross Country Ski Championships.

 

The competition is set to take place February 14, – 16th 2014,  and will be hosted by the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club.

 

The  event will test more than the field of play explains Cal Benson, Chief of Competition for the Western Canadian Championships. “We are looking forward to trying out the new expanded cross-country stadium and brand new technical building at Otway, as well as the competitive trail system expansion developed in preparation for the 2015 Canada Winter Games,” says Benson. “This will be a fantastic opportunity to prepare for the Games and future competitions we might secure as a result of these investments.”

 

The event will attract athletes from across Canada who will be vying for positions on Canada’s 2014-15 World Cup Team.   It is expected that approximately 350 athletes will compete from across Canada.
