The world’s largest cross-country skis that call the South Cariboo home, may be returning in the near future.
Back on October first the District of 100 Mile House said on their Facebook Page they were coming down for a well deserved face lift and a fresh new look.
“The skis ended up being a bit bigger job than anticipated with the graphics provided by the ski company being to complicated to enlarge enough for the length of the skis and get the same faded out coloration effect,” Mayor Maureen Pinkney said.
With some back and forth, Pinkney said a different graphic was supplied and the skis are almost ready to be reinstalled.
She said a date of installation has not yet been determined, and a celebration or ribbon cutting type event has not yet been established.
“The 100 Mile Nordics Organization continues to be a great advocate and supplier of amazing trails at 99 Mile and host many events and daily exercises to enhance the ski experience,” Pinkney said, “We at Council want to thank them for all their hard work. Having the skis at the Visitor Info Centre would not have near as much meaning if it wasn’t for the representation it refers to on our local trails.”
