Ski-O Report: Actually, this was the ninth ski-O and the second snowshoe orienteering event at the Frisco Nordic Center. The snowshoe component was added single-handedly by Adam Feerst in 2003 and this year he made it a score-O. The snow cover was a little light. It started snowing around noon. By the time the snowshoe event started it was really dumping.

Many thanks to Betty and George Bramhall for handling registration again, Mil the start and finish, Margareta for giving beginner instruction, and Sharon for planning such challenging courses. Thanks to Adam Feerst, for the snowshoe score-O course. A lot of people did both the ski-O and snowshoe-O. Following the meet we had about 20 at our house for dinner.

Snowshoe Score-O Report: The snowshoe-o used a score-o format with a mass start and a 1:30 time limit. At 1:30pm, 17 individuals and teams headed out in several different directions in search of 14 controls. The controls ranged from 5 and 10 point controls close to the start and trails, up to 60 point controls further off trails and through deeper powder. The signature feature was a 50 point control that required competitors to venture a short way across the frozen lake to an island. After 1:30, penalties started accumulating at 20 points for the first minute, and 5 points for every minute after that. Fifteen of the 17 made it in under the time limit. Three cleared all the controls.
