SUMMARY:Canadian Ski Marathon 2027 - Community Event
DESCRIPTION:Get involved at The Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM) 2027 – Feb 6-7\, 2027!\nThe CSM is great opportunity to keep your Amateur-Radio skills current and to operate in a winter environment. \n The event needs the skills and knowledge of ham operators to run a controlled net for logistics support during this live event with unpredictable traffic. The CSM uses commercial digital radios for health\, safety\, and logistics traffic. 2m ham radio is used as a backup\, when equipment or environmental factors make the commercial rigs difficult or impossible to use\, and for some volunteers who will not have commercial rigs available. \n Amateur Radio operators are needed to pass traffic relating to checkpoint supply levels\, expected numbers of skiers\, skier transport\, skier extractions\, start and end times for the checkpoints\, chip-and-loop concerns\, and the all-important count of hotdog buns!  \nRadio operators are needed for:\n\n\nnet control – located near Montebello – net controllers MUST be bilingual\ncheckpoints – spread along the route – being bilingual is helpful but not necessary\n\nThe CSM needs people who are skilled at operating on a controlled net. Those are ham skills!\n\nPlease reserve February 06-07\, 2027 on your calendar. You can volunteer for one or both days.  It’s a great opportunity to learn how to operate at a community event in an outdoor environment\, to connect with fellow Amateur Radio operators\, and to get some fresh air! \nFor more detailed information and to sign up\, click here: \n\nEnglish:  https://hambone.ca/csm\nFrench:    https://hambone.ca/mcs\n\n  \nBackground information on the Canadian Ski Marathon (CSM)  \nThe CSM is North America’s longest and oldest Nordic ski tour. Unlike most ski events\, there are no winners or losers : it is not a race. Each skier can select his/her own level of challenge and can ski as little as 12 km or up to the maximum of 160 km over the weekend. The CSM is a two-day\, 160 kilometer ski event that is divided into 5 sections each day\, with an average of 16 kms per section. There are feed stations\, first aid and toilets available at the end of each section\, as well as shuttle buses that run between accommodation and checkpoints throughout each day. Learn more about the CSM.
