The Payak

The organizers are at work designing the 2019 swag for 500 loppet skiers and 100 volunteers – a Buff wide headband. Stay tuned for images! Registration is strong so don’t miss out!

Earliest bird registration hit 269 on New Years Eve! Nice to see all those resolutions to make 2019 your first Coast Outdoors Payak!

Did you know the Whistler Athletes’ Centre at Function Junction has lodge accommodation available if you are training for the Coast Outdoors Payak? Great rates, industrial kitchen and close to the trails! Check it out – turn that day trip into a weekend of skiing and a stay at Whistler Village!

Progression clinics and private lessons are available at Whistler Olympic Park in January to help you prepare for the Coast Outdoors Payak, whether this year will be your first or your fifth! Book now; progression clinic registration closes January 4, 2019 but private lessons are available throughout the season. For more information on lessons, visit www.whistlersportlegacies.com/whistler-olympic-park/lessons.

Don’t forget that pre-registration closes on December 31 and prices increase on January 1.

We are excited to announce that Coast Outdoors is the new title sponsor for the best loppet in the Pacific Northwest, the P’ayakensut or Payak, at Whistler Olympic Park.  The Coast Outdoors P’ayakensut will continue to be organized by volunteers from Callaghan Valley Cross Country (CVXC).

Coast Outdoors is located at 352 Lynn Avenue in North Vancouver and was previously known as Deep Cove Outdoors.  Same great owners and staff, just a new name, to better reflect the location (not actually in Deep Cove) and what they provide in the store – Nordic gear, clothing and equipment to facilitate playing in the great outdoors of western BC.

Our remaining key sponsors – Salomon, Nesters, Fischer and Swix – are also continuing to support this growing and exciting, all ages and abilities cross country loppet!
