North American Nordic Skiing Mourns the Passing of Scott Elliot

Scott Elliot, Chairperson of Cross Country BC, and his wife, Ineke, died last month while vacationing and visiting family in South Africa. While waiting for their lodging at a national park to be prepared, they took a walk and got caught by an out-of-nowhere veld (prairie) fire.

FasterSkier would like to extend our sincere condolences to Scott and Ineke’s children, Tara and Adam, the rest of their family, and friends. A number of readers wrote in noting Scott's passing and spoke of the impact that Scott had on cross-country skiing in North America.
