Race #5
We are all set for the WCS 20km Skate Season Finale at the Farm at White Pine Touring on Saturday! There will be tons of giveaway items and prizes for participants. Registration closes Thursday night at 11:59 pm.
Bib pick up and registration will begin at 8:30 at the Social Hall of St. Mary’s Church. Bib pick-up closes promptly at 9:30 so the volunteer race crew can be in place at the start and finish. Maps and distances will be coming soon, but it is the same Farm course that we’ve used for years with the same 1km, 2km and 3km cut-offs for the younger set.
Bring a lunch and hang out after the race at the church social hall.
The Farm trail is closed on Friday and Saturday until midday when the race is completed. The trail will be open for public skiing after the race is completed. We will be race grooming Friday afternoon so PLEASE stay off the trail. The weather has been warm during the day and your skis will make deep ruts that will be there during the race. Please do not ski on the trail until Saturday.
A huge thank you to the crew at St. Mary’s Church for allowing us to use their facilities every year. Please respect the space, the restrooms and the buildings. Park smart, carpool and do not set up tents in the parking lot. Also thank you to Park City Municipal Corporation and the Mountain Trails Foundation for generously providing their snowcat for Friday’s grooming. We’re all in this Nordic Community together.
We’ll see you Saturday!
Race #4
“A golf course ski track, a city with an unusually dry and warm winter, a 3.3K course, individual start skate race, volunteers who have moved heaven and earth to pull this off. That combo just produced the greatest weekend in US nordic ski history. So let’s do it again this weekend. This time we will be at Mountain Dell, which is one of only five locations in the Lower 48 to ever host a World Cup XC race.
A 3.3K loop on a golf course is good enough for Gus and Johannes, Jessie and Jonna. See you there!”
—Chris Magerl, Head of Grooming Ops
Thank you Shovelers!
What a night! Thursday, February 22, 2024, the junior teams’ parents and the TUNA Comp team came out and shoveled snow so that this race can happen. Thank you to Chris and the groomers, who made a strategy for filling in holes, and to the parents and team who came and did a week’s worth of strength training to make this happen.
