Arno Turk skied with XC Ottawa for three years, and was one of our founding members. He left XC Ottawa in 2005 in order to diversify his athletic interests; a former semi-pro cyclist, he wanted to focus more on his road bike and on epic events such as the L'Etape du Tour. In winter he also gets in a lot more backcountry and telemark skiing trips. He also bought a house, and has recently been dedicated to home improvements. Arno works in Gatineau as the senior medical imaging technologist at an MRI clinic. He remains one of XC Ottawa's biggest supporters and dearest friends.
