Wednesday: SKATING @ Elk Heights (Keep alert in case of grooming changes). Leave EHS 3:20, Ski 3:50-5:10, Return to EHS 5:40.
Sunday:
We found out late that the Jente Loppet is Sunday. Many Ellensburg skiers participated in this event last year. It is a low key and fun race for women, but is open to youth males as well. Here is the link, including a registration link- signing up online saves $10. There are lots of pictures of Ellensburg folks on the site- see how many you can find!
The directions on that site are written from the perspective of a Seattle person- don't follow them! Take exit 54, turn left, go under freeway, turn left at stop sign. Follow road to snopark in 1/2 mile.
The race starts
at 10AM. I thought it would be great to combine the race with a ski
along the lake. Please come for any part of the day or all:
10AM Race (or just ski)
11AM ish awards
11:30 lunch, snack
12:00 Ski again from Hyak, some skiers might want to make the 8 mile (all flat) ski along the lake to Crystal Springs

The race is freestyle, which means skating or
classic. Most people would skate, but if you think you would be faster
classic you can do this too.
