No fees, no prizes, no support:
JUST DO IT!

These are un-sponsored group "races", self-timed and self-supported. There
will be set courses posted but you can still ski with us and ski less if you're
not up to the full distance. Suggested group start times are listed but start
when you like as needed to complete the course. Just make sure to sign in and
out so that we can keep track of people.

There will be an attempt to have the trails in excellent condition, as is
always the goal on weekends, but, since no special grooming is planned, be
prepared for possible less-than-ideal conditions.

Look for notices on the Skyway trailhead board or on a parking lot table for
race day info. Remember, these are marathon distances so carry some sustenance
and appropriate clothing and stay hydrated

For info call Tom Ela, 434-9753.
