The Chateau Montebello - Net Control for the Canadian Ski Marathon
from Friday February 9, 2000 to Sunday February 11, 2001

The 2001 CSM was quite unusual. For the first time, 24-hour ham radio coverage was provided for the organizers to pass health and safety traffic. Also, large amounts of rain followed by freezing weather made the trails virtually impassable on Saturday, and the event was cancelled for that day. Several of the pictures here show the organizers trying to map out potential route changes for Sunday to get around obstacles such as open running water. The trail crews worked all Saturday night to provide what turned out to be quite good conditions for the skiers on Sunday.

Be sure to visit the official CSM website, too.
