Jan. 25 - Saturday will be the 5km "classic style" (no skating) xc ski race, using the UNM NCAA 5km course, followed by the kids' events (likely a 1km fun event, and a longer 3km event, involving both skiing and picking up prizes along the way), and then a free to all registered participants xc skiing and racing clinic that will cover technique, equipment, clothing, and waxing.
Jan. 26 - Sunday will be the longer ~10 to 12 kms xc skate race, the USSSA 5km and 10km snowshoe races, and the citizen's 5km snowshoe fun race. Both of these events will be challenging, fun and exciting courses.
I am trying to get the Enchanted Forest ski area to get the correct flyer on their website (www.efxc.com) but there have been some technical issues. I'll let you know where the link to the proper flyer is when it is ironed out.
Also, don't forget that the Chama Chile Classic is the weekend BEFORE, on (January 18-19). Find more info atwww.chamaski.com. This is an awesome set of events at the famous Chile Classic course on Cumbres Pass. There is a 15km & 7.5km skate race on Saturday, followed by the big event on Sunday, the 10km and 5km classic events, plus the snowshoe. Combine everything for the King or Queen of the Mountain competition.
Despite the dry conditions south of the Sangres, the winter conditions are great up north. It snowed on Sunday, which made for some great ski conditions. Go check it out...
We'll be posting more info and photos on the Southwest Nordic Ski Club's Facebook page (swnordicskiclub). Also, there are pics of all the years' events past at the SWNSC picasa album
...if these kids can do it, so can you!
