March 14, 2014 (Falun, Sweden) – As the FIS World Cup XC Ski season hits a final crescendo this weekend in Falun, Sweden we wondered just how big a weekend it is for the world’s best. Bragging rights and endorsements aside the prize money at stake is substantive totalling 42,500 CF if you win all three races and take home the mini tour title.

The big money makers this season are the Norwegians with Martin Johnsrud Sundby topping all with a whopping 171,750 CF ($196,500) followed by Therese Johaug at 159,000 CF with Marit Bjoergen just behind earning 151,750 CF to date. We hear Norway’s expensive…

We reckon the top North Americans, Kikkan Randall (USA) in 5th overall with 69,125 CF to her name and Canada’s Alex Harvey in 6th with 33,750 CF in his bank account to date also hope to take home some glory and some greenbacks this weekend – cha ching.
