First Club Races - 2002

1/20/02 - First club races for the season...

The first club races for the season were held today, 1/20/2002.  We got ~6" of fresh, powdery snow last night which made for absolutely perfect skiing conditions.  The trail was packed down and fresh tracks were groomed prior to the races.  See for yourself in the pictures below...

Please note that the pictures do not represent any order of which the skiers arrived at certain way-marks of the trail.

Pictures for this race were supplied by Lars Widstrand.  Used with permission.
