SIGGE'S P'AYAKENTSUT

There will be a special visit to the event from Klister, an 8 foot tall rabbit. Klister is the Cross Country Canada mascot and reportedly loves showing off his stuff on the skinny skis.

There have been some changes to the race this year. The Prime event was discontinued, but that prize money is rolled into the pot, so a total of $3400 is up for grabs in the 30 and 50 kilometre loppets. All racers and volunteers receive a custom Buff headband, and there is a multitude of draw prizes from Salomon, Fischer and Swix.

All loppet races will be on Saturday, February 22, 2014. Due to the BC Winter Games, the Kids' Tournament and Youth Ski Cross will be held on Sunday, February 23, 2014.
