December 15th Grooming Report
Johnny Curtis IMD Opener Race Day 3!
At 9:00 AM today the final day of three fantastic days of Nordic racing begins! Today’s venue is distance skate relays featuring the 2.5 K course featured in the map below. Teams will be speeding around the course, enjoying all the fresh snow as they compete to see who is the fastest; it is once again a fantastic opportunity to race or to watch some great Nordic racing. Important information points for racers and spectators are as follows:
- There will be very little parking at Trail Creek. Shuttle buses are running between Stilson and Trail Creek from 7:30am-5:30pm. All racers, spectators, families, siblings, friends, grandparents, fans, please use the shuttle.
- Start lists and results are at this Zone 4 webpage.
- Start times for relay teams is at this Zone 4 webpage.
- Course maps and more information is available at the JHSC event page.
- The course is closed to skiing by the public all day today, however recreational skiers can recreate on the forest trails via the end of the Old Pass Road.
This weekend’s racing is in tribute to local legend Johnny Curtis, a member of the JHSC Hall of Fame. You can check out more about Johnny Curtis at this hall of fame page.
Grooming for today’s race began last night with a wipe of the course with the Ginzu then very early this morning the Husky ventured forth on its maiden journey of the year, compacting all that fresh snow for the final day of racing. The Husky also had a little time to wander into the woods, setting Homeward and Outward Bound, Moose Poop, Beaver Ponds, Grunt, Animal Farm, and Olympic so recreational skiers have a little groomed snow to ski on as well.
The snow should be tapering off through the day. Look for system wide grooming to return Monday morning.
Groomer’s choice for today is to enjoy the race.
