Canadian Ski Marathon
February 2002

Trisha Westman earned the Coureur des Bois Gold Medal by completing all sections while carrying a 5 Kg pack and sleeping outside and previously earned a Coureur des Bois Silver Medal.

Founded in 1967 by former Canadian National Ski team member, Don MacLeod, the first "marathon ski tour" was designed to be the longest in the world, promoting a spirit of fitness, friendship and fun. The annual two-day event features ten sections that span 160 kilometers of tranquility and beauty through the Québec countryside: from Lachute to Buckingham with an overnight stop in Montebello.
