2005-2006 XC Ski Race Round-Up
The first couple snowstorms to hit the Midwest banana belt have come and gone leaving little but soggy brown grass. But it's piling upin Michigan's Upper Peninsula which bodes well for the ski trails in those parts.
If the wait for snow in your area is still on as you read this, take heart in the plethora of ski races there are to look forward to. Click here for the 2005-06 ski race calendar for Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan
and Ontario, Canada.
As always, I owe much thanks to Bruce Adelsman of Skinnyski.com for helping make this schedule of ski races and the supplementary calendar as complete and accurate as possible. By all means, peruse the listings here and in the back of the physical magazine and then visit Adelsman's skier-friendly site for more info.
Keep your wax handy, because here we go!
