Hello all! Just a quick reminder that this year's Frigid Infliction
is fast approaching. We still have rooms for a few teams, but we'd
like to close registration by this coming Tuesday. If you're
interested but have been putting off signing up, please do so ASAP so
we know what to expect, have the right number of everything printed
up, etc.

If it helps your decision at all, Bolton Valley's gotten 6 FEET (yes,
you read that right) of snow in the last week, and there's more in
the forecast. If you're looking for some outdoor winter fun this
year, the Frigid's your ticket.

Here's the full blurb:
The Green Mountain Adventure Racing Association and MVP Health Care
want to get your adventure racing year started early with The Frigid
Infliction - the largest winter adventure race in the US! Get away
from the average winter crowds and put your cold-weather skills to a
true test in some of the gnarliest terrain Vermont has to offer.

What: Navigation, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, postholing,
ropes work
Where: In and around Bolton Valley, VT
When: Saturday, March 7th 2009
Who: Teams of 2 or 3, coed or single-sex. Limited to first 35 paid
teams.
Cost: $300 for 2, $390 for 3 - $20 discount per GMARA member.

This race is USARA sanctioned - start earning points early. Prizes
this year include discounted entries to nationals, the Untamed New
England, and a free entry to an Endurance Aventure event. (Along
with the usual terrific gear we don't want to give up.)

As always, we'll be holding a navigation clinic at registration the
night before and don't forget our famous post-race party: food,
drink, massages, and prizes prizes prizes! We'll be having dinner at
The Cider House again - anyone who raced the last Bitter Pill will
tell you their food is amazing. Try to save room for key lime pie!
