February 3, 2007 – Following up on the announcement this week that the FIS has re-scheduled this event for March 12-18, Cross Country Canada will be sending the same team that was selected in January to this event.

The trip will be shorter than the previous excursion, leaving March 3 and returning to Canada on March 19 to participate at our National Championships. FIS has guaranteed a backup site if the site in Tarvisio, Italy does not have snow in March.
