EC Openers: Friday Updates (12:01)

16.Dec.2011

Friday course availability - We will be opening part of the course at noon. The only access will be from the Tamarack parking lot, via a carpet strip. Please ski downhill to the lower field, bearing right, where you'll then pick up the course climbing up chip hill. Keep your eyes open - there will be workers and machinery at various points around the course. Classic track will be set and available. Traffic is counter clockwise on the loop. Signage should be in place to make this easy to follow.

Wax Testing - No wax testing during the competitions. A white board will be posted, listing testing times on race day.

Spectators - All spectators are asked to cross at designated areas to minimize dirt being tracked onto the course.

Warmup - With limited terrain for skiing alternate methods of warm up should be planned for (i.e. bring running shoes).

Maps - are up! Check 'em here.

Weather report - Weather Underground is presently NOT communicating with our weather station, due to the power down this morning as part of the power outage. For current data in the interim, check this link.

...and one item that was posted yesterday on the VTCM page from NENSA, but is worth reiterating here:

Racing Saturday afternoon only - There have been questions about whether you have to race the Saturday morning sprint qualifier in order to be able to race in the afternoon. You do NOT have to race in the morning to do the afternoon race, however, skiers that race the qualifier will be seeded off of their morning results and all others will be seeded behind this group.

Keep watching the website for more details as the day progresses!
