Silver Fox Trot Eastern Cup - Tuesday Evening Update

The Silver Fox Trot Eastern Cups scheduled for this coming weekend will need to be moved or cancelled.
New: 1/4/05. 3:20PM. NENSA Staff has spoken with meteorologists at the Fairbanks Museum. They state that 6 inches of snow is a solid estimate for Trapp's on Thursday with almost a 100% chance of precipitation. Trapp's needs 5 inches to be able to host the race. Things are looking a little better! Stay tuned...

We have Trapp Family Lodge and Jackson XC as the primary and secondary back-up sites. As of right now, Trapp's is closed and could not hold a race. While Jackson remains open and the training is excellent, potential race trails do not provide sufficient terrain for an Eastern Cup event. We are holding on because of a forecast that calls for snow on Thursday. We will try to make a call by 3PM tomorrow, but if the forecase still calls for snow, we will wait until Thursday for a final decision.

The BKL portion of the Silver Fox Trot has been cancelled.

We will extend the registration period for online until Friday at 5PM to allow people to wait for our decision before registering for the event.

In the event that the Eastern Cups are cancelled, Sugarloaf Outdoor Center will host a 10K skate on Sunday. This event would not be an Eastern Cup, but would give a great opportunity for athletes to get a race start on a 5K loop with good skiing conditions. This event will only be run if the Silver Fox Trot is cancelled. Registration will be available through Friday online and on-site on Sunday. 11AM start for men, noon for women.

Stay tuned to www.nensa.net for the latest information.



We are still looking for volunteers to help with the Jackson 30k (1/22/05) and especially the Jackson Jaunt (1/23/05). Email Gwen Vosburgh (gwenvoz@aol.com) or call 383-0903.

What a tough winter this has been so far!
Good ski conditions are hard to find.
Jackson Ski touring has the following comments for today:
Picked up 3/4" of granular sleet/ice. Grooming crew is making skiing possible. Ellis, South Hall/Maple Mtn, Eagle and Wentworth are being groomed. Nice day to ski - Springlike. Higher temperatures may open up more trails as ungroomed or previously groomed snow softens. Many trails open for snowshoeing. Ski School will be giving lessons.

Mt Washington Valley Ski Touring is listed as closed for the season on their website.

Great Glen Trails Comments:
Monday 8 am - Due to the precipitation last night we have closed the trail system for today to allow for the water to drain and the surface to freeze. We hope to open the Geepers loop tomorrow.
