The 2024 Destination Challenge is now completed. Thanks to Naomi and Sue for organizing it this year, and to all the skiers who participated. All the teams and four of the individuals made it to the destination this year. Well done everyone! And congratulations to our 5 random draw prize winners, chosen from all team and individual participants:
The 2024 Challenge:
Our two journeys this year are in Italy. Teams travel from Milan to Val di Fiemme (site of the 2026 Olympic Nordic Skiing events) and back, a total of 824 kms. Solos travel from Venice to Val di Fiemme (185 km). Form teams of 5 or ski solo and accumulate kilometers while adding bonus kilometers by taking part in weekly challenges. Log onto the Sun Peaks Nordic Facebook Page for information each week and to see how you stack up against the other teams or solos. Note that for this year, once you reach your team or solo distance, your challenge is complete and kilometers will no longer be counted or published.
Again this year: Teams and solos can add bonus kilometers by taking part in weekly challenges (see below).
Dates: Mon. Feb 5, 2024 - Sun. March 3, 2024 (4 weeks)
RULES:
HOW TO ENTER: Email Naomi at [email protected] with your team name and team members (or just your name if you're doing Individual). Include an email address for team leader.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
- Adele Cooper – Team Snow Crows
- Cathy Thibault – Team Better Late than Never (BLTN) or Beautiful Ladies that Nordic
