Vermont’s high school race season wraps up at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center with the final day of the VPA state meet. Racers will tackle a 5km individual freestyle race in the morning (boys 10:30am, girls 11:45am) and then schools will field 4-person relay teams in the afternoon for 4 x 2.5k freestyle relays (boys 2pm, girls 3pm).

The racing action should be fast and furious and we encourage spectators to car pool and join us to see all the fun!

Friday, December 15, join us at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center (COC) for an evening of the Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM). Mark Isselhardt of Elmore, Vermont has participated in the CSM nine times since 2014. Mark will share some basic information about the event as well as his own experiences traversing the special 160k trail that is only open once a year.

The Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM) is a ski tour, not a race: participants challenge not each other, but themselves by choosing a level of difficulty and trying to accomplish that goal. Since its inception in 1967 the event has taken place annually just north of the Ottawa River between the regions of Montreal and Ottawa, capital of Canada. The tour happens on the second weekend of February and usually covers a distance of 160 km (99 mi). There are many levels of participation in the CSM from “tasters” who ski one or two sections a day to "Coureur des bois" who attempt to ski all ten sections over the two days. Far more people take part in some but not all of the ten sections during the weekend and the event attracts participants of all ages and ski abilities.

This free event runs from 7:00-8:00pm in the COC Activity Center. Hope you'll join us!
