Heart Thumper Time Trial - Tuesday, February 4, 2020
The Rochester Nordic Ski Team held a 2.2K freestyle time trial on the Quarry Hill Trails under cloudy skies and a moderate 19 degrees. The 40 degree temps from two days previous created an icy/hard pack trail, but the expert RASC groomers tamed the trail to provide fast, but controllable, conditions for the race. The 86 skiers received valentine chocolates after crossing the finish line!
Rochester Nordic Invitational - Friday, January 24, 2020
Skiers from Lake City, Red Wing, Rochester, and Winona enjoyed great snow conditions with 31 degree temps at the Rochester Nordic Invite. A 6.0K trail on the golf course and through the woods was enjoyed by 109 skiers while 16 beginner skiers used a shorter 5.0K trail.

Heartwood Time Trial and Sprint Team Relays - Sunday, January 12, 2020

The sprint relays were contested by teams of 2 skiers alternately skiing six laps of a short loop (less than 1K). There was much excitement and cheering as the 20 skiers quickly passed through the exchange zone handing off to their partners.
