Cross-country skiing is a hugely inclusive sport. We start with 2-year-olds in the Jackrabbit program. They learn to play around on skis on hills and terrain parks to get their balance and learn skills that will support them in fitness, health and sport as they grow up. Many of those Jackrabbits move on to become competitive racers. The race scene is very friendly and encourages participation. We regularly see skiers aged 5 to 75 racing at our provincially-sanctioned Sask Cup races and loppets . - HILARY JOHNSTONE, Coach, La Ronge Nordic Ski Club
