Tony Percha, Cyril Grum, and Zbigy Zlobicki know that ski racers are made in summer! Training starts in May, particularly if you're Zbigy and plan to attend the 2027 Masters World Cup in Tomso, Norway!
Because of the extremely low snowfall this winter and a few days of over 50 degrees, there are parts of the race courses that are very thin. We are attempting to make our primary courses as safe and enjoyable as possible.
Since the WPS got axed, here's a chance to get a great workout and run the course we will be using for our MI Cup skate race in late February.
The record 52 degree temperatures and afternoon sun obliterated the trail as well as the snow around the trail.

Michigan Tech sits atop of the leaderboard after the first day of the Green Acres SuperTour stop, as the Huskies’ Malin Eriksson and Mikko Harju turned in the conference’s two best performances in the women’s 5K and men’s 10K mass start classic.
Well, maybe not still, but I’d sure like to have a resting heart rate well below my current 83 BPM. I remember the days, a few months ago, when it was down in the low 50’s, a fond memory.

Nearly 1,400 skier raced the 2012 Marquette General Health System Noquemanon Ski Marathon under great conditions. Although windy, the wind was mainly from the back, and the snow firm with an inch or two of fresh snow on top.
