In what hopefully will become a annual event, HURT nordic unveiled (or would that be "unbonneted") its first ever free, fun family costumed ski event at Saratoga Biathlon Club. It was the first race in a series of Saturday spring time events at the Saratoga Biathlon club that included a biathlon TT, a "Learn to Biathlon" session and a BBQ picnic. What a day it was!
The racing was fun and fierce and some huge deductions were made as skiers racers showed up in some great Easter themed outfits. It was a learning experience for some as it was quickly realized that skiing with a basket is hard, but keeping eggs in your basket was even harder! Some great engineering was seen on the trail! When all the math was done and the deductions were tabulated the results showed some surprising upsets!
