Race Plans

Most of the ski world has banned the use of Flouro Carbons in ski racing at all levels of competition except for the world cup for health and pollution reasons. Unfortunately this is a Flouro Event so the preparation of the skis is more difficult and time consuming. If racing Thursday please have your skate skis selected within 30 minutes of the Wednesday Sprint Qualifier. We will also request the same Saturday for Sunday’s race. Here is our Race Plan Document! Please familiarize yourself with this before the races.

Hello Ski Fans,

There’s too much snow on the track for us to do our testing effectively. The Testing Session is canceled.

The T2T and Track Attack Groups will move their training sessions to the Sovereign Lake Nordic Club who opened for the season today. Most L2C are at xc running provincials but those who are not are welcome to jump in with the T2T. Classic Skiing 10:00-12:30

Rode Super Extra will likely be an appropriate grip wax.
