Great Bear Chase Coming March 10

Posted on February 16, 2012

It is a great cross country ski event in a land of great amounts of snow. It is the Great Bear Chase. Registration is open at www.bearchase.org.

New for 2012:

  • A separate 50 km classic race, awards, and start time.
  • A new 14 km race.
  • Improved course – no road crossings, no snowmobile trail section!
  • Snow bike race on Sunday!


The 50km freestyle race and separate 26km classic and freestyle categories will return, as usual.

The course uses the varied and gently rolling terrain of the Swedetown ski trails. After the race, stick around for door prizes, raffles and the best free lunch you’ll ever eat.

All proceeds from the 2012 Great Bear Chase will go to the Copper Island Cross Country Ski Club groomer fund (to help pay for the new groomer and groomer building).
