Cross Country skiing is now a media focus after the successes of Beckie Scott, Sara Renner and Chandra Crawford at the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.

The 2008 Alberta World Cup was North America's only World Cup race. There were four cross country ski races (female and male in pursuit, sprint classic, free technique and sprint free) held at the newly refined Canmore Nordic Centre in Canmore, Alberta January 22 through 26.

2008 was the second World Cup hosted by the team that successfully staged the 2005 Alberta Centennial World Cup in Canmore in partnership with CODA, FIS and the Calgary Stampede.

The Alberta World Cup Society gratefully acknowledges the support of these sponsors:
