The Williams Lake Cross Country Ski Club’s annual Family Fun Day was the busiest in the event’s existence Sunday.
“We had 49 people show up, which is way more than we have ever had,” said WLCCSC’s communications director Kirsty Gartshore.
“I think part of that was slightly warmer conditions, but another factor is the growing popularity of the sport, right across Canada. We have a great facility up there at Bull Mountain and some long-time Williams Lakers are discovering that now.”
At Family Fun Day participants were given free cross country skiing lessons by WLCCSC volunteers.
Free ski, boot and pole demos were also available and were donated by Caribou Ski Source for Sports.
