Olympic Competitor Dahria Beatty, reflects upon her passion for cross country skiing, and the winding journey her professional career has taken her on.
Whitehorse, and the Yukon in general, has a myriad of game trails, traditional trading routes, and litany of man-made trails throughout the city of Whitehorse itself. It’s long been a destination for ski enthusiasts seeking the physical challenges and astounding beauty from one of Canada’s true “Nature Cities” right within the city limits itself.
Through the continued efforts of the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club, recreational and professional athletes can enjoy 85 km of groomed trails conveniently located within 5 minutes of the Whitehorse downtown district. The Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club is primarily a volunteer run organization and remains a mecca for athletes who train for local and international ski events throughout the year. When the seasons change, patrons quickly transition to single track biking, running and hiking throughout the trail network.
Dahria has been a longstanding member/participant of the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club since she was first introduced to the sport by her parents at the age of three. She continues to train on the WCCSC trail network when she’s back in Whitehorse and has clearly taken her passion for skiing to the highest of level as a Canadian National Team Cross Country Skier and 2018 Peongchang Olympics contender.
