Great day of classic skiing for the Yukon skiers in today's races

It was a great day for Yukon skiers in the mass start races held in classic in challenging track conditions. With a 20 cm snowfall overnight and 650 + skiers using the same trails for racing today, it was a challenge for everyone. The steep uphills were quite challenging with ankle deep loose snow as well as the downhills. Some great performances again today. I was glad to have been able to witness our Yukon skiers take on that challenge and get great performances. Now I just hope my flight will not be canceled like it was yesterday :) Take care. Alain
