The conditions were stellar Ron Watteyen, a spokesman for the Cariboo Ski Touring Club, said. The day started off a bit foggy but the fog soon burned off to reveal a clear sky with temperatures hovering around -3 celsius and frost glistening in the trees. The tracks were set up nicely and were fast for the participants. This year’s event attracted more than 100 participants with more than 60 per cent younger skiers, a big change from years past, when adults dominated the field. “This is a very positive change and it is great to see that many young enthusiastic skiers in this Participation Event,” Watteyene said.
