SPIRIT OF BC in Quesnel - The Jackrabbit Meltdown

Looking at these pictures makes me wish I didn't grow up in a big city.

What a dream it would be to live in a community where cross country skiing is the cool thing to do for kids and youth and Spirit of BC week helps you to enjoy it - and encourage it.

Ah, to be a kid again.

This was an official Spirit of BC event - see the arrow pointing to the sign? - and a great idea to ensure physical activity, healthy living, sport, recreation...and maybe a budding Olympic athlete in the world of nordic skiing?

Jackrabbit Meltdown Event

from Sunshine Borsato (the event manager)...

"It was a beautifully sunny day with warm temperatures Saturday, February 17th for the Spirit of BC's Jackrabbit Meltdown Season Finale and the jackrabbits came out in droves for a party on skis. "

"With relay races including an egg and spoon race, horse and buggy race, and obstacle course, the four to thirteeen year old cross country skiers couldn't hide their enthusiasm or spirit for a fun-filled winter season of skiing."

"They concluded the day with a chocolate egg hunt along the ski trails and cake and prizes. Cross country skiing is an excellent way for anyone to enjoy the snow and incredible BC winters. The Jackrabbit Program is a fun-filled kids' program emphasizing fitness, balance, and agility while playing on skis. It is an easy way for families to enjoy BC's winter wonderland."
