Plenty of young winners in cross-country skiing at games Friday
It was a perfect day for the Saskatchewan Winter Games athletes competing in cross-country skiing Friday.
A total of 64 male and female athletes took part in the event at Blue Mountain Adventure Park near North Battleford.
Dan Brisbin, provincial technical liaison for cross-country skiing and Para-Nordic skiing with Cross Country Saskatchewan, said it was an ideal time for skiing.
“The course was in top-notch shape,” he said. “The weather was excellent. I think we were minus 15 (degrees) when we started – nice and sunny, not much wind. So it was a great day for skiing.”
