Harriet Hollister 2/21 – UPDATE

Yay snow! 🙂

With today’s storm, I am hopeful that Sunday’s ski-o at Harriet Hollister will happen as (re-)scheduled. However, the current forecast calls for warming temperatures late in the week and so it remains to be seen what results from the storm and how cold it stays at the park. Stay tuned for updates…I’d like this event to happen if it is at all possible, so it may be Sat afternoon/evening before a final decision can be made. Check skio.nyssranordic.org for the latest information.

Being optimistic —

Registration and starts 12-1 in the winter parking lot at Harriet Hollister. There’s no shelter (we’ll be operating out of cars) so plan accordingly. There is a portapotty at the parking lot, as well as “indoor” pit toilets a mile or so ski up the road.

I’m anticipating three courses:
– short, a white/yellow course that sticks to the flatter ski trails
– medium, an orange/green course that involves more climb but still only the ski trails (no snowshoe trails)
– long, a red/blue course with climb and some legs potentially involving snowshoe trails

There may also be a recreational scatter-o format for those who want something more freeform. The medium and long courses will count towards the NYSSRA points series. (Come to the NYSSRA Championships Feb 27-28! No qualification required this year. See skio.nyssranordic.org for info.)
