Start times for both races are at 11am. Make sure that your race skis are marked with your name, age class, and clearly marked kick zones on both sidewalls. Also make sure that you bring some warm-up skis. Because the sprint course is relatively flat, you might want to bring skate skis and longer classic poles for the sprint race if you want to double pole.
All athletes will need to be at the race venue with their skis no later then 9:00am on both days.
If you have any questions or problems please call Ja Dorris at 440-9944. The coaching staff will be staying at the Driftwood Hotel. Drive careful.
