Revellers gathered at the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club’s chalet on March 17 to participate in the club’s Spring Nordic Festival. The festivities ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
A soapbox sledding derby was held during the festival, attracting more than half a dozen participants with unique, home-built sleds. The soapbox derby started shortly after 3 p.m., with Yukon NDP leader Kate White directing and announcing racers on the microphone.
In addition to the sled races, the ski club’s Spring Nordic Festival also included a relay race, snowshoe tour, kicksledding and curling.
There was also live music, food and a beer garden for attendees to enjoy from noon to 4 p.m.
