With these snow conditions and lack of snow in the forecast, the organizers of the Nationals have valid concerns about the ability to pull off nationals without a huge amount of help moving snow. With the Yukon sun that starts in Feb/March every dirt patch you see on the trails now will become a bare patch because we have less than a couple inches of base in some areas.
They are going to get a jump on it now while there is still snow on the sides to move.
Work parties every Sunday at 3:00. Meet at the wax room to get your assignment from Grant Abbott who is chief of course.
Bring a snow scoop ( best!!) or a shovel.
Bonus: Coast Mt Sports realizes the importance of moving snow for Nationals and have put up a $50 gift card, as well as draw prizes, for each work party that happens. Come work and get your name in the draw!
