With recent snow being packed by the public, this weeks warmer temperatures caused a settling and further packing of snow on the trail. Trail is firm, but not hard, and all forms of braking and holding work very well (even the skijoring "body drag and elbow hook"). The granite boulders at the "stone chute" (at the top of the very wide trail leading to the quarry, for those of you who ran last year's course) are too big, too close to the trail, and just too nasty to risk running by (they are on the inside of a very narrow section of curve) so for the rest of this season the course will remain the same as it has been for this year's Sportees and H Coyne & Sons races.
With the KSA getting out and grooming the trail, it should be very good for the Alpine Vet race on Saturday Jan 26th: 12 mile Twister (and we have a photographer at "that post" for this one) 2-6 dog sleds, 2-4 dog skis; 5km 5-13 year-old Kids 2-4 dogs sled, 1-2 dogs skis; 5km 1 Pet dog - anything!

Note - Registration at 8.45am, Meeting 9am and the Twister goes out first to allow all those Quest 300 and Quest hopefuls to get to their food drop on time.
