A new season of training has begun, and we are now starting on week 4 of the year’s training plan. Today is our first official team practice, so we thought it was also time to update all of you on the team for this coming season.

New this year at the Gatineau Loppet - a Team Competition! Enter your team today!

This Spring XCOttawa.ca had the chance to shoot a short promotional video with two Ottawa skiing legends; David McMahon and Lise Meloche of www.xczone.com. Legendary for their skiing accomplishments initially and now for their cross-country skiing videos. That's right they film, produce, sell (and sometimes star in) movies about cross-country skiing!

All the entries are in, now we wait...

We have had one of the very best and longest seasons of skiing in Gatineau Park this year, and we owe much of it to the great work of Lafleur who performed excellent grooming from the beginning of December until even today!

Check out how our summer racing is going. . .
