Kids classes:

44 photos. It's Wednesday night January 4, 2012 at Huron Meadows Metropark, there's barely enough snow on the ground to ski, but it's been augmented with some man-made snow from the parks brand new snow making gun. Forty-three kids are raring to go (along with 8 parents who wanted to learn to ski, too). Turned out to be a great night to ski! Photos by Ken Grybel II.

Team NordicSkiRacer's Lindsey MacDonald wins the 5k Frosty Freestyle cross country ski race, leading the entire race. The race was saved by new snow making equipment procured by Huron Meadows Metropark - Mother Nature was not behaving.

Krazy Klassic 10K (Huron Meadows Invitational)

It WAS Krazy! Who holds a classic cross country ski race without set tracks? We do! Dan Yankus (Team NordicSkiRacer) added a second victory this weekend, and Tracy Hardin (Straits Striders) was the women's champion.

This is a pretty long video because I wanted to give racers the opportunity to see how they skied rather than making a slick video.
