The calendar for the 2019-2020 United States Ski & Snowboard (USS) Cross-Country SuperTour has been announced, with the first stop scheduled for Canmore in Canada.

The seven-stop SuperTour will see US and Canadian cross-country stars compete in the International Ski Federation (FIS) sanctioned event, with berths at the FIS World Cup on offer.

USS use the event as a key development programme which offers club athletes the opportunity to qualify for the US ski team, FIS World Cup tour and potentially the Olympics.

This season's tour features five events in the US and two in Canada.

Canmore in Alberta hosts the first race weekend between December 6 and 8, before Sun Valley in Idaho hosts the SuperTour between December 14 and 15.
