Ski Race

We ended up with super weather and trails full of snow for our race this weekend.  We had 16 skiers ski through the park starting with a lap on the lake, going up the sledding hill to do four laps on the road, then coming down the sledding hill to finish with another lap on the lake. Total race distance was 27 km.  This was a freestyle race where most used the skate style of skiing but I believe we had four using the classic style.  

Thanks to North Iowa Nordic(http://northiowanordic.com/) for donating buffs to the racers.  Thanks to Brian Voss and Rod White for standing out there for hours helping direct skiers.  Thanks to Eric Rust for helping groom this 10" dumping of snow just a few days before.  Thanks to all of the people who brought food to share.  And thanks to all of the racers for giving this race a shot!
