* The Varsity race will be a continuous pursuit, starting with classic style and a quick change to skate at the halfway point of the race. The skiers may have assistance in the change over process. If skiers use the same set of skis for both the classic and skate race, the skier must step completely out of the ski binding in the ski transition area before they will be allowed to continue the next leg of the race.

Varsity: Wave Start depending on numbers. Each leg of the race will be roughly 4.5 km in length.
Jr. Varsity: 5 km Freestyle race. Mass Start.
Jr. High skiers: 3-4 km Freestyle race. Mass Start.

Ribbons will be given out to the top 10 skiers in each race. Jr High Race ribbons will be handed out at the finish.

Top four skiers from each team will be counted for a team score. Adding the times of the skiers will be used as the tiebreaker.

Skiers should bring: 

• Skis, boots, poles
• Lunch (We have some food left from the meet this weekend, but not a lot. Bring your own food too.)
• Water and/or Gatorade
• Uniform
• Dry clothes/layers
• Homework..its a long day.
