Race Summary

Answering the “meltdown” of 2000, Mother Nature blanketed the race course with 8 inches of snow between midnight Friday and mid-morning on race day; thus, a slower ski for all!

Kortelopet skiers were treated to a new course, leaving the Birkie trail at 9K and continuing on to finish at Telemark Resort.
