    Yes, and while we’re at it on the skimo front, the season kick-off for the NE Rando Race Series is this coming Sunday (Jan 22) at Berkshire East.
    Compared to the Teva rando race, the prizes are . . . smaller.
    However, if the snowpack holds for this weekend (tonight’s wet wx is probably the crux) then the descents will be as challenging as anything that Vail can offer, and we might even have a boot pack section to add some variety (to say the very least…).

    Speaking of races with huge prizes, if you’re in the Wasatch and wanna speed up, check out citizenseries.wasatchpowderkeg.com

    The prize is typically a pumpkin pie!

Got something to say? Please do so.
