24 Hour Ski Fundraiser

for Race Team Uniforms

Savannah Robinson took on the challenge to attempt to ski 24 hours at Hallis Lake skiing every trail in the ski network through the process. The challenge was a personal goal but she also wanted to raise money for the race team who trains at Hallis Lake four days/nights per week and who races around the province. You will rarely see these hardworking youth as they primarily train at night and saturday mornings in both biathlon and xc (skate and classic disciplines). They track their kilometers for fun in the lodge but they ski hundreds of kilometers a season to prepare for races sporting a CSTC uniform. However, the uniforms are becoming worn and stretched as the kids grow and it was clear to Savannah they needed to be replaced.

So, she set out to ski every trail (she exceeded 80km) and to continue skiing through plummeting temperatures and accumulating snow to challenge all of you to donate to her cause on behalf of the CSTC ski racers. She successfully raised $5233.98 which will cover the majority of the uniform costs! The race team has all worked together to agree on a design for the next uniform which they hope to sport soon.

A big thank you from your proud racers – Ella Hyde, Rome Borsato-Stobbe, Isaac Friesen, Colton Robinson, Nathan Englehart, Carter Bohme, Abbey Mackay, Elek Kovach, Friday Borsato-Stobbe, Lily Davison, Pascale Sturt, Keirstyn Bohme, Roan Davison, Max Kovach, Sam Friesen, Yuki Sturt, Emma James Perdue, Lena Sturt.
