Stars are happy to organize a winter adventure race ( ski-O, snowshoe O and others ) as well as individual courses for ski-O ( beginners and advanced) and/or snow shoe O score ( beginners ). Near Mansfield-Ontario, good timing to prepare for Canadian Ski-o Champs and/or february Snowshoe Raid.

Hey Nick, can you give us a few more details about the adventure race. What disciplines are included?

Nick:
the adventure race will have navigation on x-country skis ( like ski-orienteering ) and snow shoeing navigation ( more like a score O) and of course a small surprise ( no biking this time though ). wining time ? probably under 3 hours ( but over 2h) with a time limit of 5 h. more on skis then on snowshoes.various types of maps. teams will receive their package about 8.30/8.45 am. oh.. and we are praying for good conditions that day

Best of all, the earlybird price for a team of three is $130 - that's the usual price per person for a winter AR, so hopefully it will inspire more people to give it a try.

The registration link was down tonight. Maybe it's a temporary blip with the big storm?

Snow has started falling again today, but Nick has advised me that the race will go ahead - with some modifications - in the unlikely event that winter isn't back in 2 weeks.

control flags were hanged yesterday afternoon/evening, conditions were good to very good, now they got another couple of inches of snow overnite and maybe little more to come today, and will make it for a great day. if still want to come out, send me an email, by friday 7-8 pm , to print more maps ( as on-line registration is closed ). see you
