So where's the Michigan Cup schedule? Alas, Christmas, New Years, the US Senior National Championships and a host of other issues have caused scheduling conflicts that have kept the Michigan Cup calendar in flux. The calendar should be our within the next week.

Some teasers:

• The season starts on Saturday, October 20 with the US Season Opener, the October SkiFest Sprint in Traverse City.

• The first distance race will be on Saturday, December 17 with the inaugural Wintersonnewende race at Michewaye in Gaylord.

• The seasons ends with the Michigan Cup Relays on Saturday, March 11.

• The Michigan Cup Team Relay has been replaced by Michigan Cup 6-hour Team Relay.

• Scoring has been changed for the Vasa and Gran Travers to better match the distances that will be used for the US Master Championships.

• Several races around the holidays have been cancelled by scheduling conflicts.
