Some skiers are already racking up kilometres that will be added up on Saturday in a 'Go the Distance for KGH' effort.

The club has raised an impressive $100,000 in the previous two events for the KGH Foundation.

Nordic is located about a half-hour southeast of Kelowna on McCulloch Road just off Hwy 33.
