Some of the ski patrol uses backcountry skis during the race. The
more laid back atmosphere of the short race brought out a more
eclectic mix of skis than I've seen in the long race. Lots of touring
skis and 20 year old racing skis. Even some woodies.

I'm reasonably serious George, I think it'd be a hoot to come up next
year!
I've never raced- not really a racing kind of guy- but the Birkie sounds
like quite the event.

It's been a long time since I skied.....and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want
to participate in the race even assuming that I could get back in shape by
then.....but a trip to da nort woods in February in good company would be
fun, and I'd be willing to supply logistic as well as moral support.
