The CEC Invitational will be held at Spirit Mt on Tuesday, Jan. 10th. This will be a skate race starting at 1pm. I won’t have the course finalized until Friday but it will be multi-laps over sections of the downhill and bunny hills adjacent to the Chalet much like the course used in the Denfield race. I have been assured that the course will be safe even if Spirit needs to close a run. For those familiar with Spirit, the course will include the bunny hill and the practice hill around the trees.The target is to have ~5k for varsity and JV and ~2.5k for JH.
Race bib pick-up will open at 12pm with a coach’s meeting at 12:30pm. Bib pick-up will be in the main Chalet nearest the south end. Coach’s meeting will be held on the main chalet deck.  Fees will be $5 per skier payable to CEC Nordic.
Spirit Mt. has several places to buy food so that should not be a problem. Buses will need to park in the parking lots so teams should plan to use the Chalet. There is plenty of room. Please get your entries to Steve (Boreal Timing) by Sunday PM.
Course description
Parts are the same-ie the bunny hill behind the Chalet but we will cross over to the woody island on the other side of the first down hill run-and then climb up and come back on a downhill traverse across this same run. Think kidney bean shape. It will be run clock wise as oppose to counter clockwise the way we mostly have been skiing it to take out a choke point at high speed. Top speeds should be somewhat lower than Denfield’s course and all high speed turns have been angled out. Over all technically easier but with more angled climbs as we will be traversing the slope. Being able to switch poling sides will be a good thing.
