Kootenay Cup races in Fernie

Kootenay Cup races in Fernie

Held on 30 – 31 December 2017. The Nordic Centre was a very busy place last weekend with two days of races of the Kootenay Cup series. Sixty-one racers braved the cold on Saturday and forty-nine did it again on Sunday in even more frigid temperatures. The young and adult racers came from Rossland, Nelson, Invermere, Golden, Canmore, Montana and Fernie for the event. Can you recognize the local participants and racers from Fernie?

Big thanks to photographer Ryan Schultz for the great pictures taken during both races days. The photos may be found HERE, HERE and HERE. Check out his Facebook page too.

Kootenay Cup races in Nipika

Once again the Fernie Nordic Racers were at the Kootenay Cup event in Nipika this last weekend January 30-31, 2016. Several of the parents were also participants in the event. This event included long distance categories for adults: 15 and 30 km classic on Saturday followed by 10 and 20 km skate on Sunday. The course was a little challenging and everyone had a good time competing under cool temperatures but nice weather. The race results are available at Zone4 for Classic and Skate
