The Summitt Race planned this Saturday Febr 25 is cancelled. The committee met tonight and a decision was reached. We don't have enough of our system in good shape to offer a safe race.
It is frustrating because some of our trails are in very good shape but we can't offer a sensible one way loop for a race that takes in the Summitt etc. Even if we get snow tomorrow night it won't be enough. Temps are warm into the weekend also. The " notch " across the Summitt and about .75 km before Bear Pond cabin is essentially bare.
We do apologize and really wanted to make this happen.
As mentioned we do have several km's of trail that is very good including the challenging uphill 7.5 on through to Lindo's lookout. Excellent training stuff !!
Clarenville Nordic would like to extend an invite to Gander and Avalon to come this weekend and utilize these sections of our system for pre marathon training. Just notify myself or Corwin and we will meet you guys and let you know were to ski. We can even do timing if you want to some time trials etc. I still would use your " B " skis !!!
There will be no fees charged this Sat or Sunday for any members of Gander or Avalon who want to use our trails .
Hope to see you this weekend. We will do our best to accomodate you !! Again sorry we could not pull it off.
