37th Annual Great Ski Race Tahoe City, CA, Sunday March 3, 2013
The annual Great Ski Race will be held Sunday, March 3, 2013, and is the primary fund raising event for the Tahoe Nordic Search and Rescue Team (TNSRT). The TNSRT is a non-profit group that is based with an all-volunteer organization.
The first Great Ski Race was held in 1977 with 60 racers. This year they expect over 1,000 racers, making this one of the largest Nordic ski races west of the Mississippi River today.
The Great Ski Race will begin at the Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area in Tahoe City and ends at the Cottonwood Restaurant/Hilltop Lodge, in Truckee, California. The 30 kilometer (18.43 mile) race covers beautiful terrain with views of Lake Tahoe, Squaw Valley, and the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Last year, the snow conditions prevented the Great Ski Race from happening. This year, we have plenty of snow, and the event is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
If you don’t ski but still want to take part in all of the fun, be there at the 9 a.m. beginning, or at the end of the race to cheer your favorites on! Past winners have finished the race in just over 1 hour so if you want to see who wins the Great Ski Race you’ll need to be at the finish line before 9:45 a.m. to see who crosses the line first.
