Hápunktur skíðagöngutímabilsins

Elsta skíðamót á landinu

Fyrst var keppt árið 1935 og síðan þá hefur Fossavatnsgangan verið stærsta skíðagöngumót hvers árs og Ísafjörður miðstöð skíðagöngu.

Aldrei aflýst vegna snjóleysis

Göngunni hefur aldrei verið aflýst vegna snjóleysis enda alltaf hægt að finna snjó á heiðum.
