More than 350 athletes will be making their way to Otway this weekend as the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club hosts the 2026 Teck BC Cup #1.
The event marks the first stop of the provincial BC Cup race series.
“This is one of the provincial cups, the first provincial cup for cross country skiing in the province,” said Media Liaison Kevin Pettersen.
“There’s two BC cups, and then a provincial championship.”
Pettersen added this event also allows athletes to collect points if they’re moving onto higher levels of skiing.
“So if they’re going to be selected for say, the BC Ski Team, or things like that, like moving onto even the national team, these events are key to collecting points for that,” he explained.
Pettersen said this is something Prince George hosts often.
“It’s great to see a lot of familiar faces again,” he said.
“We’re just really delighted that the conditions are looking really good for here this weekend.”
Prince George is in for a warm weekend, with temperatures getting up to five degrees, to go along with a chance of showers on Sunday.
