Racing for the cookies in the cold

For some, it was too cold. For others, it was just fine.

For some, it was too cold. For others, it was just fine.

Either way, the Yellowknife Ski Races did happen on March 11 at the Yellowknife Ski Club. A total of 33 racers hit the trails to try and win their division, but no matter where they placed, everyone got a cookie medal, the famous award for every skier.

There would have been more racers, but as mentioned, it was too cold to race for the younger skiers. The temperature at race time was -18 C and under Nordiq Canada rules, thatSA国际影视传媒檚 too cold for those 12 and under. That meant only those 13 and older could have competitive races as the cut-off for the older skiers is -20 C.

Those who werenSA国际影视传媒檛 able to compete still got the chance to enjoy a day of work with their coaches while watching the big kids do their thing.
