At its meeting on 15.10., the town of Pudasjärvi executive board has decided to give up the responsibility for coordinating Border to Border -skiing. In practice, this means cancelling the 2025 Border to Border -skiing.
The executive board has reviewed the overall situation related to the matter. The situation also involves other challenges, but primarily due to the tight financial situation of town of Pudasjärvi, it cannot provide sufficient operational reliability as required by the responsibility for coordinating Border to Border -skiing.
In its decision, the town’s executive board also states that the responsibility for coordinating the event can be handed over to another municipality or operator if the transfer can be made in a sensible and smooth manner from the point of view of operations. At the moment, it is not known whether any municipality or operator will take over the responsibility for coordinating Border to Border -skiing in the future.
Those avid skiers who have postponed their registration fee from 2024 to 2025 can expect a refund in the following couple weeks to the account or credit card from which they made the payment. If we need more information for refunding process we will contact you.
The town of Pudasjärvi and the Border to Border -skiing organization thanks everyone for the past years and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the situation to all enthusiastic skiers around the world.
On my own behalf, I also thank everyone who has been involved in making this unique event possible over the years.
