Sadly, we are not able to hold the 3rd annual Mathias Bartels Scholarship Race on Sunday due to lack of snow.  We hope to reschedule for February 28th should Mother Nature finally come around and help us out.

After much doubt about whether the ski race would actually take place, Amherst school hosted a successful competition. The skiers began their day under a grey and overcast sky with temperatures that chilled racers and spectators alike. The weather resulted in cold, hard snow and conditions ideal for fast skiing. Both Greylock teams took home the win today, resulting in unblemished records for several years running.

The best high school skiers in Massachusetts converged today at Weston Ski Track.  On a course that was full of twists and turns the Eastern Mass. skiers represented their home course well.  As one might expect the terrain was relatively flat, with the largest hill on the course, Mount Weston, constructed entirely out of manmade snow.  It was a day where the best results were submitted by those who worked the transitions with power and maintained their speed whenever possible.

Not so much as a single cloud could blemish the perfect blue sky this morning at Notchview Reservation, indicative of the day’s race and the results the Mount Greylock Nordic Ski team earned. The Mounties went a perfect six for six in today’s race, winning both varsity races, both junior varsity races and both team events. Skiing on Notchview’s picturesque trails, in and out of the woods and across huge open fields, all athletes enjoyed their final classic league race while many prepped for tomorrow’s EHS and J2 qualifier outside of Boston.

The Berkshire County League race failed to disappoint yet again on a warm afternoon in soggy conditions at Mount Greylock High School. The Greylock team defended their home turf with pride, taking team honors and sweeping the individual crowns in both the boy’s and girl’s varsity races. The boy’s race was as exciting as ever, with a new leader board once again whereas the girl’s side was routine, but far from boring. A big thank you also has to be made to the Greylock crew who put on a stellar race despite no help from the weather.
