Hello Ski Fans,

Well it is still smoky out there. Looks like the Ari Quality is sitting at a “5” or moderate risk. We will not be doing any racing tonight. We will reduce the session to 90′ and still have some fun. You are however still welcome to join us if you are comfortable with smoke. AQHI LINK

Here’s a link to the Telemark Triathlon photos Terry took last week. Unfortunately, the results are still not ready.
