Cross Country Skiing!
We're a great winter city, so just wanted to write in support of the cross-country ski culture. With an internationally-acclaimed event like the Canadian Birkebeiner (the only Canadian one, and only one of a handful in the world!), Edmonton is in an enviable position to support cross country skiing.

We're a great winter city, so just wanted to write in support of the cross-country ski culture. With an internationally-acclaimed event like the Canadian Birkebeiner (the only Canadian one, and only one of a handful in the world!), Edmonton is in an enviable position to support cross country skiing.
Here are some specific ideas:
- Support the Birkebeiner Ski Festival as one of Edmonton's official winter festivals
- More support for kids/families who want to learn the sport
- Include planning for cross-country ski trails in new Edmonton communities
- Continue to support trail grooming in Edmonton parks, and include some more ravines in the grooming (e.g. groomed and protected trails in Mill Creek Ravine)
- Snow-making at Goldbar (might be able to tie into treated wastewater re-use as snow-making).
Thanks!!!
