Olympic Champion and CEO of Nordic Canada Beckie Scott made the official announcement.

“On behalf of Nordic Canada, the community and our organization, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the 2026 Olympic Winter Games Trials have been awarded to Caledonia Nordic Ski Club and the community of Prince George.”

This is the first Olympic Trials of any sport to be hosted in Prince George and Northern BC.

Event Chair, Kevin Pettersen says it’s events like these that make an impact to so many in communities.

“These type of events are those that are so inspirational to everybody, us as volunteers, the kids that are growing up as budding athletes, and I have no doubt that some of the kids that will be inspired by these Olympic Trials will be the ones that are going to be at future Olympic Trials.”

The trials will take place from December 10th to the 16th, and will determine who will represent Canada in cross-country skiing at the 2026 Olympic Games in Milano-Cortina.
