Caledonia Nordic Ski Club's asphalt course will be open to roller skiers next spring
The final load of polymer asphalt was paved Wednesday and Prince George is now home to only the third roller ski facility in Western Canada.
The $1.5 million Caledonia Nordic Ski Club project, which includes pavement at the biathlon range, will give roller skiers their choice of three-kilometre, 1.5 km and one-km loops to conduct their off-season training. “They knocked it out of the park,” said Pettersen, who oversaw the project. “It’s all done now, they finished the paving . It worked out really well and I’m really pleased with it. I walked it yesterday and it’s just awesome.”
It will take time for the asphalt to set and just be on the safe side the Caledonia club won’t be allowing any roller ski activity this fall, just to mitigate the risk of sharp-tipped poles causing damage. Pettersen says the club also needs to work out directional signs and on the courses and determine where to post signage to warn users of intersecting single-track bike trails to watch for approaching roller skiers.
