Saint-Bruno (Québec) https://www.sepaq.com/pq/msb/information.dot

Athletes will make their own lunches on Saturday and Sunday with groceries that will be provided. Everyone should bring a packed lunch with them for Friday and some cash for stopping on the return trip.

What to bring:

$12 for ski pass for Friday if you are a student 18+ with student card (17- are free) [Support crew: bring your SEPAQ card if you have one; spectator parents: bring your SEPAQ membership card or pay $15]
Pack a lunch for the road; bring $ for food stop on the way home
PRINT OFF your Zone4 registration confirmation so you get access to the national park and don’t have to pay a day fee
EATING kit: mug, plate, bowl, knife, fork, spoon, dish cloth
Ski equipment (Skate & Classic Skis, Boots and Poles)
Ski and warm-up clothing
Homework, Board game
Toiletries

Travel Wax: Swix LF 8 or toko lf red for both skate and classic [What is travel wax? This means applying a layer of glide wax to the glide areas of both sets of cross-country skis. Do not scrape or brush. This way the layer of wax protects the bases of your skis from getting scratched during transit. Once at the race site, athletes will scrape and brush their skis before going to practise on the race course.
