Hey everyone,
 
in addition to a belated Chama Race Report (hey, Tarik has baby-duty now),
Clay's NM Cup race report on the swnski blog there are also new picture albums
online. One each from Alley Loop, Chama and NM Cup. Just click on Photo Gallery
from the home page www.swnordicski.org
If you have photos or race reports you want up on the blog or photo gallery feel
free to send them to me directly and I"ll get them posted. If you want your own
blogging power, email me too - I'll see if Tarik will let you ;)
 
Leadville Loppet coming up on Sunday Feb 22nd! They have 10k, 22k, 44k freestyle
races with the whole town coming together to cook great food for the awards
ceremony. If the above pictures inspire you so, do try to go up and do the race.
Its an amazing course using the fantastically groomed Mineral Belt trail with
amazing views of the rockies. Plus, this year the race will use all proceeds to
help pay for a used groomer they bought - hey, we all know how hard it is to get
such stuff for our club, so why not help them out if that means just going out
and having fun racing! Info and registration here:

Note, the event being on Sunday makes for an easy Sat drive rather than frantic
Friday night getaway :)
 
Also, people keep asking about getting some more club gear. I would LOVE to but
as you recall there is always a minimum number to make the order affordable etc.
So in the next few days we will be posting some info on the website about the
uniforms (prices etc). Check it out and then email (there will be a link) if you
are interested. Based on those responses we may start working on another order.
Starting this spring should make it available for fall, so you can roller ski in
style while getting ready for the snow :)
