Kuujjuaq AWR Championship 2010

This past weekend ended the third edition of the Arctic Wind Riders' Championship. 10 riders from 5 communities; Resolute, Pond Inlet, Pangnirtung Kangirsuk and Kuujjuaq participatent to the tournament. Wheather was warm and we experienced rain and few very calm days. Participants faced difficult conditions with deep wet snow and light wind. Skilled riders managed to find their way through and some of last years beginners emerged this year as winner.
