From course setter Gary Maslanka:
The snow is long gone and the event will be a foot-o. The courses will be beginner, intermediate, long intermediate, and long advanced. Length and number of controls are as follows.
- Beginner – 10 controls, 1.9 km
- Intermediate – 9 controls, 3.6 km
- Long intermediate – 12 controls, 5.5 km
- Long Advanced – 16 controls, 7.4 km
When I scouted the courses the ground and water were frozen, footing was good and the ice could bear a person’s weight. We then had a warm spell with rain that ended last night. It is forecast to be below freezing the next few days so the ground and water surfaces should be frozen again. I have no idea if any of the ice will now support a person’s weight. This is more of a concern on the longer courses but everyone should plan their routes accordingly.
A couple of the courses have legs that skirt private property, some of which is posted while other parts are not. Please be respectful and again plan your routes accordingly as the private property is out of bounds.
Finally there are a couple of opportunities on the two longer courses to mispunch. If you pay attention to the control feature you will not have a problem.
Have Fun.
