Prairie Creek Post Race Report/Results - Race #1 IN Series
Posted on January 7th, 2008
Prairie Creek Snowmaker lived up to its name. Two feet of new snow was no obstacle for the Idaho’s longest running classic race. The North Valley Grooming Crew transformed the massive amount of snow into a strip of fresh corduroy and race line tracks around the 7.5km loop for the 72 participants. Many thanks go out to Elephant’s Perch owner and race promoter, Bob Rosso, who pulled off the impossible.
Race time temps were 23 snow and 29 air. Due to snow shear the on-site Swix Tech Team recommended VR40 with an elongated front kick zone with HF7BD for glide. This proved to be the winning recommendation as Swix Tech Team member, Eric Jensen won the race, followed by Swix Tech Joe Jensen and third went to junior skier Connor Brown of SVSEF.
The woman’s race was won by Muffy Ritz followed by Abbie Harris and Susan Thoreson.
Every participant will receive Idaho Nordic Series points in their respective age class.
