Uncategorized

(actually 2.9 mi – the loop at Gore Nordic is just bit short of 1.25k)

Sunday afternoon saw 18 snowshoers take to the groomed XC skiing tracks at Gore Nordic (AKA the North Creek Ski Bowl) with clear skies and temperatures a balmy mid-30’s. Thanks to the staff at Gore Nordic and Bob Underwood of Underdog Timing for making our first race of the season possible. Full results can be found here.
