Thank you to all who skied, volunteered, and cheered on the racers in 2024! It was a fantastic day thanks to the hard work of all of our staff and volunteers, and the flexibility or participants to adapt to last minute changes. We’re hoping for a great winter and a “regular” race in 2025! As of 11/20/24 there is a bit of frozen precipitation falling from the sky, and the temps should drop next week so the ground will freeze before we get a substantial snowfall, providing a great base for the course.

MCSA College Race

The college teams will be scored in the 30k skiathalon (15k classic, 15k skate). College skiers may choose to enter the unscored 15k or 30k skate or classic races instead, and pay the college entry fee. Any college skier who wish to ski a different race should indicate that on the roster.
