[Note: The Michigan Cup brochure incorrectly states that the Crystal Highlander is bot classic and freestyle: the race is CLASSIC ONLY! - Mike Muha]

The Crystal Highlander Classical race and tour is scheduled for Sunday, February 19th.  Registration at the Kinlochen Cross Country Center starts at 8:00 am and is $35....or pre-register and save $10 by calling Crystal at 800-968-7686 extension 4000.

This event is classical technique only. All competitors must use classical skis that are either kick waxed or have a waxless kick section on the skis.  No skating skis permitted. Distance TBD, but between 15 and 20KM.  A 7KM tour non-competitive event will also be offered.  Overall and gender, and age group awards.

Even if you are going to wait until Saturday morning to enter, please call and let us know if you are planning on coming to help us prepare for parking issues, timing etc. We are hoping for a good field this year and your participation and attendance to this year's event will help us keep The Highlander alive and part of the Michigan Cup.

We hope to see you then.......The Crystal Mtn. XC Staff
