Big Snow Season Opener

Dave Johnson sent along information about the Big Snow Season Opener Cross Country Ski Races to be held on Saturday, December 15, and Sunday, December 16, 2007.

According to Dave, "Saturday's race is the Grand View Health Systems Classic with racers doing 5 or 10 kilometers depending on age and sex, and will be held on the Wolverine Ski Trails."

"Sunday's race is the ABR Trails Freestyle race with racers doing 5 or 12 kilometers based again on age and sex. Both races start at 9 am, with Saturday being an interval start and Sunday being a mass start."

"Contact information is 906-932-3502. We expect 300-350 racers for this weekend and as has been the recent history of this race we generally figure an additional 2 people per racer as most of the races are high school or college age. A nice quiet way to fill out local motels and restaurants on a typically slow weekend."

I hope all goes well for this event! There are a lot of good people working hard to make sure Ironwood is THE winter destination! Keep up the good work!
