Good Morning Skiers,

Mark was our groomer last night and he tells me that Busk/Euphrates and Clearwater main loops are complete, and he is just heading over to the Apex side to complete over there. Thanks Mark!
In Norway, every year, they hold the Birkebeinerrennet, a marathon ski race of 54km from Rena to Lillehammer. The race is in honor of an event celebrating the escorted the two-year-old Haakon Haakonsson, an heir to the Norwegian throne, during a civil war period. They traveled on skis from Lillehammer to Trondheim in 1206. A 19th century painting depicting the event, is the basis for the two Vikings on the sleeve of jackets made by Bergans of Norway.
