Race Technique & Course: The race technique will be CLASSIC. The courses will be set closer to the race date, when we have a better idea of snow coverage and conditions. Courses will be clearly marked for skiers, and we’ll put down v-boards to change courses for each successive age group race. Start and finish will be in Molly’s Meadow.
