On behalf of the Langlauf board welcome to the largest
and longest running cross country ski race in the Northwest. This year
Langlauf is celebrating it’s Pearl anniversary (30th year) and we hope you
enjoy what we have planned for you. Two years ago we went to electronic
timing and had great success with it. We will continue with it this year
as well. This allows you to go online and see your results just hours
after our race. Also this year you will again be able to register
electronically online, we listened to your
suggestions
and have improved the online form. We hope you enjoy the race which
incorporates Linder Ridge Road as the start area. This is a result of
negotiations with the Winter Knights Snowmobile Club, Inland Paper, and
Selkirk Nordic Club. This of course could not have happened without the
hard work of the State Parks staff and the Winter Recreation Advisory
Commission. Make sure to thank them when you see them. By race time you
will have probably enjoyed the new trails that have been added this year.
They are also a result of cooperative effort of the above groups. More
information on them can be obtained on the Nordic Club website at
www.selkirknordic.org. You will also find a link to the weather
station on Quartz Peak there. As always I must thank in advance our great
Volunteers and Sponsors, we could not do this race without them. Last year
we gave out over $6,000 in prizes and will be doing the same this year.
