The Teck Track Attack Championships brings young skiers together and the event encourages achievement through team effort, and good ski technique.

The club is pleased to host this event since the last one was held in 2020 at the Overlander Nordic Club and canceled in 2021, “says spokesperson for the club, Teresa Pavlin.
