North American Vasa - Race updates

The forecast is calling for beautiful blue skies, 40’s and rain most of the week. We all love the sun, but the ski trails do not.

We remain hopeful and will continue to do all we can to provide a safe and fun event! Here are the updates as of 2/6/2023:

All Saturday February 11th races will run on a revised course.

  • 6k (1 loop)
  • 15k moving to a 12k (6k loop x2)
  • 27k moving to a 18k (6k loop x3)
  • Junior Vasa
  • Fat Tire 35k
  • Fat Tire 17k

All Sunday, February 12th races are canceled for 2023.

We have based this difficult decision on the fact that there is not enough snow to set a safe and quality track.
