From Bill:
Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating with our plans! With a major snowstorm, ice storm, wind etc forecast for central and southern MN and up through Duluth, the race organizers realize travel will be difficult and perhaps unsafe for anyone not in the Mt Itasca area.
Accordingly, we are postponing the race until next Saturday, the 21st of March. Later this weekend, the Ski Reg site will be revised and reopened for more registrations. Anyone who signed up for tomorrow and paid online, but who can’t make it next Saturday will be offered a refund by MN Biathlon.
The weather forecast for the Mt Itasca area seems to be in flux, but there is adequate machine-made snow to achieve a good race course even if some of the recent natural snow starts to diminish.
Enjoy the Journey–it can get a bit devious at times!!
