Trail Conditions Update Jan 29 2010
Posted by Romeo Bernardin in Trail Conditions on January 29, 2010
Orange Trail on January 30th
| Trail Name | Trail Conditions |
| Golf Course Trail /Putter’s trail | Set Jan. 28. Single track very good. This trail does overlap and intersect with the Western’s race course. Be careful, you may end up on a steep hill!! |

| Westerns Race Course | Can be skated, no classic Jan 29th |
| Lighted Trail | fair/good Jan 29th |
| Red Trail (2.5km and 5km) | Classic and skate. Good Jan 28
CAUTION THERE IS WATER/ICE ON THE TRACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AT 1.5 km A new trail has been cut so most of the water/ice can be avoided. The down hill portion is poor, use the original downhill. At the bottom of the hill a right turn will lead you to a much shorter/safer route to solid ground. Derek Martin loop can be used to avoid the problem area, it is a more difficult trail. |

The 34th Annual Manitoba *mini* Loppet for Jackrabbits
Posted by Bruce Goodwin in Jackrabbits on January 20, 2010
Jackrabbits!
11:00 to 2:00 Sunday January 24, 2010
Meet at the End of Highway 211
NOTE THE CHANGED START TIME AND MEETING PLACE
RSVP so I order enough hot dogs!
It’s our 16th session of the season and time for another tour. Actually, we’re combining the tour with a hot dog lunch and calling it the 34th Manitoba Loppet. Our club will not do a regular Loppet this year so its up to us!
We’ll meet at the end of highway 211 at 11 am. Most of us will ski directly to the Red-Green Cabin, but some older Jackrabbits might also ski the Blue Trail. Younger Jackrabbits and Bunnyrabbits will take the short cut.
Total ski distances:
Red-Green trail: 7 km Red trail only 5 km
Blue + Red-Green: 12 km Short cut: 4 km
Adults and Parents: Jackrabbits and Bunnyrabbits get their lunch included. If you want hot dogs and hot chocolate, it will cost you about $5. Please let me know if you want some so I can order ahead (pay me at the cabin). You can also bring sleighs to haul little ones so the entire family can come.
Bring your water bottle and dress in layers – it is going to be a very warm day.
Weather forecast: Sunday +1 C, flurries, winds E 10 k/h, great tracks
Wax of choice: Red

Your Chief Jackrabbit
