McIver said the neighbourhood association partnered with the Regina Ski Club and the city s winter series to create the challenge. Volunteers from the ski club have been maintaining the trails for years.
Skiing is a great way to exercise and burn calories, McIver said, but it also has emotional benefits, especially during the pandemic just being outdoors, looking at the frost on the trees, looking at the birds and just seeing people from a distance in the neighborhood.

To enter the challenge, people need to first let the organizers know they want to participate by emailing the association at caca@sasktel.net. Then, they re advised to get an app to track their distance or simply mark down estimates based on trail lengths.
