[roc-info] ROC ski-o tomorrow

[Rick and Dayle Lavine]

Trail conditions at Mendon are far from ideal.  Most trails have at least some snow cover ... although it may be ice by morning ... but many have rocks, sticks, or leaves showing through.  Some areas can be "sticky" so care should be taken on downhills - watch for ice or debris or just ground that will grab your skis.  Most trails are quite wide (either groomed or walked on a lot) with no tracks so skating is a viable option for most of the area.

"Rock" skis are definitely the order of the day!

Because of the uncertainty in the trail conditions at start time (forecast high near 40 with a chance of rain) the race format is a score-O format.  Each class will have to get a certain number of controls within the time limit.  There will be extra severe penalties for going overtime!

Right now it looks like we WILL be skiing, but that could change if the rain moves in.
