GORE NORDIC 5k(ish) SUNDAY 12/17/23
AND – WE’RE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON… FIRST RACE ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 17!
***********UPDATE: we have confirmation that Sunday’s race at Gore is happening, the course will likely be on man-made snow since nature hasn’t been terribly cooperative at the Ski Bowl yet…*****************
Actually, Laura Clark has been working on the organizing the 23-24 snowshoe season events for months now… the web minion has just been slow in getting updates posted (life continues to be a wee bit busy.)
If the weather cooperates and there is sufficient snow, our now-traditonal season opener at Gore Nordic is scheduled for Sunday 12/17/23 at 2 PM, with day-of registration starting at 1 PM. Distance is typically 5k-ish, with mutliple loops of a rolling course right outside the Nordic Center.
Online prereg is now open at skireg.com ; prereg closes at 5 PM on Saturday 12/16
More info about the rest of the season will be posted soon!

DION-NEVITREK SNOWSHOES FEATURED IN NOVEMBER SNOWSHOE MAGAZINE NEWSLETTER
Dion Snowshoes (now Dion-NeviTrek) has been an vital supporter of snowshoe racing in the northeast (and nationally too, through their support of the National Championships) for the past 20 years… Bob and Denise Dion often attend races, both to provide loaner snowshoes and to compete. I think it’s fair to say snowshoe racing wouldn’t be what it is today if not for them.
