A special end-of-season event that spreads from Elk Valley Nordic Centre to Fernie Alpine Resort and back again.
The Flying Viking is an annual cross country ski race with 2km & 50km options for skate or classic skis, including a chair lift ride!
Looking for a challenge? This is the one, a long one but very casual – unless you don’t want it to be casual, and then by all means attack the course like Ragnar Lothbrok fueled up on mead! A ride on the Deer chair is included! Prizes for best Viking-themed costume.
Starting from the warming hut at the Elk Valley Nordic Centre, complete either the full 50 km (2 loops to the ski hill trails and back) or a single loop of 25 km. Skiers may use classic or skate skis. The course will take you through the Fernie Provincial Park and onto Fernie Alpine Resort, ascending the Deer Chair, and traversing down to Fernie Alpine Resort's XC Trails. Skiers then complete a full loop out to Scandia trail before making the return leg back to the hut.
More details & Registration information coming soon.
Cross-country skis can be hired from Gearhub Sports in Fernie, and at Sports Alpine Rental up at the Fernie Alpine Resort.
