Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM)
The CSM is North America’s longest and oldest Nordic ski tour. It is a two-day, 160 kilometer ski event that is divided into 5 sections each day, with an average of 16 kms per section. Unlike most ski events, there are no winners or losers in the Canadian Ski Marathon: it is not a race. The event offers something for everyone, regardless of age, endurance or ability. Tourers and families who ski less than the full distance make up about half the participants. Each skier can select his/her own level of challenge and try to achieve it.

The CSM takes place in February on a trail that spans the Lachute – Montebello – Mont Tremblant and Gatineau regions of Québec. Many of the trail sections wind through the Kenauk property making Kenauk an ideal place to train for the marathon, stay during the weekend itself or just enjoy the picturesque groomed trails.

For more information on the CSM or to register, please visit their website at www.skimarathon.ca.
