Masters, Salt Lake Nordic Ski Team Juniors, and Park City Juniors competed in two races Saturday on Solitude Nordic Center’s beautiful high mountain track. Skiers skied in costume for the annual Solitude Spring-Fling. Wasatch Citizen racer Pat McEwan leads the Shoeshine Boys band.

After the barbeque,  skiers tried to sprint a 1.2k loop in team relays.  Competitors ranged from 8 years old through an Olympian in a grand late season race following four feet of new snow this week.

Too much fun on skis and at the video editor… creepy new camera just needed the atmosphere. Follow an SLNST J3 skier around the Solitude Nordic Center’s track and follow the (headless) bouncing hands. Yes, the snow is still piling deeper here, looking like crust skiing well into June.

Beautiful skiing at the season finale for the Wasatch Citizens’ Series races.  20k freestyle on the White Pine Farm course, Park City, Utah.  Cross Country skiing friends will see each other less, though the season is far from over with marathon races and Spring crust skiing still way out ahead.  J2 – through Masters in two episodes:

Fresh snow for the Wasatch Citizens’ Series season finale.  The youngest racers honed thier skills all winter for the fifth race determining the winter’s overall placement. Many thanks to the race organizers, volunteers, coaches, parents, and congratulations to all the junior skiers of Utah!
