Fergus Falls Invite - Results and Photos

We got to ski Spidahl's Ski Gaard on Thursday for the first time in many years. Fresh snow and hills, so very different than the skiing in Little Falls this year!

Photo Album -- frozen camera batteries shut me down early in the day  :(

We also learned this week that the MSHSL made some decisions about the winter sports state tournaments. Nordic Ski is scheduled for March 12 at Giant's Ridge (tentatively). That's Eli representing LF in the photo on the MSHSL page!  :)

Skinnyski also published Round 3 of their high school rankings, which has our boys' team and the Brainerd boys' team in the top 10 in the state and two of the Bemidji boys on the cusp of the top 10 as individuals.

LF Home Meet at the Brainerd Arb

As you know, we're having our home meet this Saturday at the Arboretum. Even though the meet was moved from Camp Ripley, we're still responsible for managing the event and need volunteers to help direct skiers along the course and to serve as back-up timers. Time slots are short and are arranged so that you can choose a time either before or after your skier/s race/s.
