Ski Tour a Go

Despite recent weather, organizers are still planned to go ahead with a cross-country ski tour through Quetico Provincial Park this Saturday.

The event takes participants on a either a 35, 45 or 55-kilometre route and attracted about 60 skiers last year.

Organizer Chris Stromberg says a lack of snow forced them to eliminate the 55-K route this year, but the other routes travel mostly on lakes that still have upwards of two feet of ice.

Stromberg says there are some portages that skiers will have to walk.
