NEW THIS YEAR: THE YETI SNOWSHOE RACE COMES TO NORDICFEST

 

We've got a HUGE announcement! Aside from being super pumped about

NordicFest 2012, we're even more excited to announce that NordicFest

will play host to Ontario's first Yeti Snowshoe Race!

It’s official. Western Canada’s premier snowshoe racing series is coming to

Ontario – and to NordicFest. Get Out There Magazine’s annual NordicFest

Cross Country Ski and Snowshoe Festival at Scenic Caves in the Town of

Blue Mountains will play host to the first ever Yeti in Ontario!

In addition to coming out to enjoy an easy day of cross country skiing or snowshoeing

on Scenic Caves’ spectacular escarpment trails, those interested in a little

more competitive action will now have the chance to race “Yeti-style”! Racers

can choose between a 5-6K short course or the longer 10K enduro route, and

can elect to race for the podium or the accomplishment of crossing the finish line.

Don’t have your own snowshoes? Fear not – rentals are available. If you’re

interested in learning more about the Yeti or registering, please visit www.theyeti.ca.
