Sun, Oct  27, 2013 - By Mike Muha

The 4th Annual First XC Ski Race in North America, the Party, the Swap and the Sale for the 2013-2014 season is over. The Eli Brown and the Vasa Ski Club built a small 100 meter course using Zamboni ice rink shavings, then had a race. The course was a bit twistier than the three previous years, putting a premium on quick turns and great balance.

Racers got team points toward the 2014 Michigan Cup Race Series.
