[Clay Moseley via Bike-racers]

Tons of new snow and colder temps on tap for next weekend's final Nordic
race weekend of the season at Enchanted Forest.  Should be fun:


This coming weekend (Sat-Sun March 7-8th) our Southwest Nordic club and
Enchanted Forest will hold NM Cup XC Ski races at Enchanted Forest XC Ski
and Snowshoe Area <http://www.efxc.com/>!! Info is below. The list of
events this year include a pace race relay, great for newbies and mixed
ability participants! Come up if you can, should be a lot of fun!! Race
courses will be groomed especially for these events.
Never been to EFXC? Here is a first-timer info post we have on it including
driving and rentals info: click here

.
Don't want/aren't ready to race? Just come up to check EFXC and the events
out and see how much fun it is (and see that anyone can race, even those
learning how to walk often race :). Kids will have others to play with
after and before events, it should make for a very fun weekend! Still not
comfortable? Take a private or group lesson from EFXC's knowledgeable staff
<http://www.efxc.com/>! Call ahead about lesson times.

*Registration* is day of each event at the EFXC base lodge.
8:45-9:15am for adult races and until 11am for kids races and relays
You will sign a waiver and get a race number. If participating both days
please save your number to use it both days.
*COST: *each participant will need to buy an EFXC day trail pass for each
day they are racing. Races are free with purchase of trail pass.

--3k kids race using blue and green trails (out Powder Puff back on March

is the team whose total time is closest to their own guesstimate. Length of

but classic will be fine as well for kids races.
