Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center to Host Nordic Sprint Race

Pinkham Notch, NH—Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center will host a Nordic sprint race on Sunday, December 17, 2006 at noon.

Eastern Cup races were scheduled to take place in Vermont this weekend but have been cancelled due to lack of snow. Thanks to snowmaking efforts, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center has enough snow to host a race.

“Our snowmaking efforts have been strong, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer a race to the Nordic community,” said Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center Marketing Director Ryan Triffitt.

As of Thursday morning, Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center is one of only five Nordic ski areas to be open in New England.

The Nordic sprint race on Sunday will be the first race of the season in New England. Sprints are the most exciting Nordic race format in New England, the United States or Europe. This sprint race is for all ages and abilities. The format is individual, freestyle. The entry fee will cover an afternoon trail pass: good from 12-4 PM. This is an ideal spectator event.
