The New Years Day ski orienteering meet at Garnet Hill is on. They may only have marginally better snow than anywhere else, but it is Nordic skiing. See the latest conditions at https://sites.google.com/site/esgskio/current-conditions
…and register between 10:30 and 12:30 Sunday, January 1, 2012, at Garnet Hill to start the New Year off right!
Here’s the latest message from meet director Aims Coney,
Skied Garnet Hill today to see if there’s enough for a ski-o and the answer is yes. It isn’t going to be their best skiing and you should leave your new race skis at home, but I can vouch that it feels awfully good to glide. There’s a good chance for more snow and improved conditions between now and New Year’s Day.
“You may have heard that Garnet Hill has enthusiastic new owners. That’s good news for skiers. And in another positive, Jay, last year’s superb ski center manager, is back. I talked to Jay today and he is so excited that we’re holding a ski-o that in addition to reduced cost trail passes for our meet he is also donating two free passes to award to the first male and female in the Open class.”
The only thing I can add is when Aims says don’t bring your best skis take him seriously.
