CANCELLED: REI Frosty Freestyle Finale 10k
|
| Where: |
Huron Meadows Metropark, Brighton, MI
|
| What: |
Friday 4:30 PM: RACE CANCELLED. Still tons of skiable snow now, but the forecast is calling for heavy rain overnight, and we don't have life boats available on short notice. We tried our best....
Friday12:30 PM:
Tons of snow on the ground (as in you can use good race skis) but a couple hours of rain coming through shortly. We should survive that just. The forecast calls for more rain overnight, but we don't see it on the radar - it looks south of us. We'll make a final call at 4:30pm.

A Michigan Cup race!
The season ends for Michigan Cup individual points with the Frosty
Freestyle Finale race at 10:30 am at Huron Meadows Metropark in
Brighton, MI on Saturday, March 5. If you don't have five races in yet -
the max number that can be used for points in the Michigan Cup, this
is your chance to move up the individual standings AND add to your
team's points before the Michigan Cup Relays on Sunday.
Because this is a make-up race for Boyne Highlands, and Boyne
Highlands was designated as a senior-only race on the Michigan Cup
calendar, only senior Michigan Cup points will be awarded.
Cost is $20 to cover the timing and awards. Day of race registration only. The race is likely to be individual start. Distance: 10k. (Don't want people tired out for the Relays on Sunday!).
The last trail report (from a classic skier): "South side trails were
groomed and track reset for about half the system. Overall, really
very good conditions where it was groomed, only a few small icy spots.
Mostly granular snow. Universal klister was perfect. Conditions were
about a 7 out of 10. Used race skis, no problem. Very pleasant
surprise."
