The ski season is off to a slow start because of low snow conditions, but we expect to have good conditions in February. Our first event will be a 4 km course at Mt. Hood Meadows Nordic Center. Please check the CROC website before driving to the mountain to make sure the trail conditions are adequate for the event.
Registration opens at 10 am. Starts are from 11 am to noon.
We plan to include electronic timing so participants can compare split times between controls.
Results
The individual or team time is posted on the CROC web site a couple of days after the event.
