Good Morning All,
Mount Itasca has started pushing snow and grooming as of Saturday night on about 1 1/2 km of trail and the biathlon range. Hope everyone can get up there over the next week or two!!

Mt Itasca not good for tomorrow (Saturday, November 17)
Hi All,
The groomer at Mt Itasca had a boiler issue at his house yesterday and today, and did not get the snow pushed and groomed. Possibly tomorrow night. I will let you know. So the practice we had hoped for tomorrow there is off. Anyone looking to shoot is welcome to come here [no snow—just some ice on the roads] and shoot at 10:00 tomorrow.
Sorry ‘bout that!!

Pretty decent V2!

June Camp Results
Hi Everyone,
Here are the results of all the testing, time trials, hill climbs, and the race last week and Sunday. They are on a spread sheet also including old results and some athletes who are no longer competing. If you pick up your name on the left and track across, you should be able to map your progress over the years. Each event is color coded on the top with the same color each year.
Enjoy! It is a long long journey!!
