Tsalteshi on Wednesday the 17th
Skate skiied a "short" Wolverine on Wendesday -- waited until the moment things were above -10. Not horrible, but still more work; the trails are scratched up and in good shape.
Kenai Klassic Results Posted
While the weather derailed some of our plans for the weekend we did get to host one great race on Friday afternoon. The results and some photos are posted on the racing page of our website. Thanks to all of the Students, Coaches, Parents and Volunteers who made it happen! Racing Page
Lots going on this weekend!!
Friday and Saturday we have the Kenai Klassic High School races. Friday there are skate races while Saturday is a classic sprint. Friday 10k Boys map Friday 7.5k Girls map Saturday sprint course map Also, Saturday is the first day of our Junior Nordic classes. This year we have 101 kids!!! We purchase our hats from the same company as Anchorage Junior Nordic and today she told me that they ordered ~ 300 this year. I'd say our program is doing pretty well considering our respective community sizes. Way to go Soldotna!!!

Good day to skate. Karl said wee wee wee all the way home. Klister for Klassic.
Thanks to our Outgoing Board Members
Alan Boraas, Kent Peterson and Pat King finished four year stints on the Tsalteshi Trails Association Board of Directors this evening. Alan has served several stints on the TTA Board over the years, including two years as chair on this most recent appointment. Kent served as our school liaison and continues to coach the Skyview High School Ski team. Pat is another ex-chair who will remain actively involved as race director of many of our events. Many thanks for all of their hard work over the years. If you see them on the trails thank them for all they have done, and consider following in their footsteps.
Trail report 12-7-11
There is 3-4 inches of fresh snow on the trails. Bill and dan were out there packing it down this afternoon. Classic was slow but great. Special green kick wax.
Cold but workable…
Skate skiing over the last week on Wolverine has been more work, but still doable; not been unbearably slow. Unless it's my imagination, the surface has been regularly scratched up by the groomers. Many thanks to whoever takes care of Tsalteshi -- I've skiied all around the Peninsula over the holidays, and no one, but no one, takes care of their trails like they do here.
