First Cross-Country Ski Team Race

The first XC Ski Team Race of the season took place at Highlands Nordic on January 18th with 23 enthusiastic competitors. 

Event 1 pitted two teams against each other: the Keele/Hwy7 bus vs. Yonge St. bus. Each team had to move a series of pylons down a 100m course in a train-like formation. The teams were evenly matched until the last few metres. The winning team was the Keele/Hwy 7 bus by less than 3 seconds.

Event 2 was a 3km race through “the maze” – personal times were recorded to see which team won. The prize once again went to the Keele/Hwy 7 bus. Everyone celebrated together with a hot chocolate après-ski. 

The next XC Ski Team Race is the March 9 trip to Highlands.
