Cross Country Ski Headquarters had a stellar year, but there were many champions to go around!
The 2020 XC Junior Nationals Facebook page has announced the cancellation of the remainder of the 2020 U.S. Junior National Cross Country Ski Championships.
Due to the recently enacted European travel restrictions, and ongoing concerns in the United States and Canada regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), U.S. Ski & Snowboard is cancelling all remaining U.S. domestic events.
A racer at the Michigan Cup Relays has reported flu like symptoms but has not been tested for the flu or for coronavirus, due to limited availability of tests in northern Michigan.
Due to ongoing and evolving concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Fastenal Parallel 45 Festival, the Coop FIS Cross Country World Cup race, and all associated events scheduled for March 14-17, 2020 in Minneapolis are cancelled.
Congratulations to all the top finishers and particularly to our 2020 Champions: Joe Thuente, Ariell Jean, Erin Lipp, and Alex Vanias!
It's final: The Cross Country Ski Headquarters is the 2020 Brumbaugh Cup Champion! The Headquarters pretty much held the lead the entire season, finishing with 1,127points.
Central Cross Country Skiing has named the 2020 Great Lakes Junior National Team and it includes Arielle Jean, Ericka Asmus, and Joseph Wood, recently crowned Michigan High School Champions.
The real battle in the Michigan Cup competition is for fourth place! Since the last Brumbaugh Cup update, Hanson Hills / Cross Country Ski Shop moved ahead of Grand Rapids Nordic Ski Team into 4th overall, leading by a measly 14.2 points.

Valley Spur: There is still a frozen base left after a day and half of rain. About an inch of snow Tues night and I classic skied in the left over tracks. It is easy to step around any thin spots. Weather person threatening some snow Sat, which would provide decent Spring skiing.
