A big thank-you to John and Sonya for their stewardship of the Shelter and eeking out the last of the skiing from the trails. There is just main range skiing now available for those who fancy a tour to further parts but track skiing will be something to look forward to next year after a summer of preparation. Keep your eyes peeled for details of the working weekends where there is a chance to help with the all important preparation for the next season.
True to the weather forecast the wind was gusting over Blue Cow as the sun rose for the National Interschools Cross Country Races. Over 350 competitors turned out for the team, Individual and relay races which took place round a circuit that had been magicked up by the Vail Resorts team with a final trackset by Greg and Bluey. Despite the challenging conditions it was great to see the commitment and enjoyment of those making their way round the course. A massive thank you to the many volunteers and the hard work that went into making the event possible and running so smoothly.
For memories of the season the link to the photos will remain, so if you still want to purchase pictures from Cross country ski week check back to previous grooming reports.
