Team NordicSkiRacer's Zibgy Zlobicki, Tony Percha, Doug Cornell, and Cyril Grum at Island Lake Recreation Area, testing the new pavement. Conclusion? The section to Kent Lake is a 5; the rest of the repaving is only a 3.
As warm weather and possible rain appear in the forecast, skiers need to think about what damage they might be doing to the trail and what the trail might look like after they go through.
The Michigan High School Championships were held on the Vasa Ski Trail in Traverse City, Michigan this past Friday and Saturday, February 14 and 15. Friday was the classic sprint, while skiers raced a pursuit on Saturday.
Over five hundred photos taken by Barb Wade of the Forbush Corner 17K Freestyle cross country ski race held Saturday, February 15, 2014.
Racers were rewarded with more k's for the dollar: the race length was increased from 12k to 14k with the additional of Hanson Hills single-track "Wilderness Trail" to the race course. No one complained...
Team USA came up from the back of the pack after a rough start Sunday to finish 11th in the men’s 4x10k relay event of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games.
Team USA left it all on the course Saturday but was not able to keep pace and finished ninth at the women’s 4x5k relay of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games.
Springtime temperatures ruled the course for a second day in a row Friday at the men’s 15k classic of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games, where Noah Hoffman (Aspen, CO) took the top spot for the USA in 31st.
Kaitlin Patterson cruised in for the win, while Ryan Halstead had to fight off John O'Hearn and Ryan Harris for the win on the hilly course of the Forbush Corner Freestyle.
What an amazing race for the overall team championship. Only a few hundred points separate 1st from 3rd. Scoring includes Juniors x.2 and Seniors. X.8 including 6 Hour Team Relays.
These are the Michigan Cup Individual Results to date. Note, I scored the Juniors in both the 6K Vasa and Grand Traverse even though the brochure says it should be the longer races.
You may have noticed a lot of RaceDingo.com racing suits on skiers this winter, at least I hope you have. RaceDingo is the result of an idea I had awhile back and am now going after full speed.
