Bear Creek Lumber is proud to be a sponsor of the Methow Valley SuperTour Ski Race on January 16 &17, 2010.
“The SuperTour is a United States Ski Association (USSA) sanctioned ski race series and is the highest level of cross country ski competition in North America. The Methow Valley SuperTour is one of ten races in the nationwide SuperTour race circuit in which racers compete for US Olympic qualifying points, International Ski Federation (FIS) points and over $9000 in cash prizes. The Methow Valley SuperTour will be held Martin Luther King Weekend, one month before the 2010 Winter Olympics. It is expected that the best Nordic ski racers from the United States, Canada and other nations will attend.
Youth skiers will also compete this weekend in Junior Olympic Qualifying Races as part of the SuperTour weekend. This is a tremendous opportunity for junior skiers to race right alongside some of the best skiers in the world. We anticipate youth ski teams from across the West will take advantage of this incredible opportunity.
Collegiate ski teams, Senior and Master skiers will also be racing this weekend in their respective categories.
The race will be held on Methow Valley ski trails specifically created for competition. The race course is located next to Liberty Bell High School in Winthrop, Washington. Racers will compete in a 1.3km skate sprint race on Saturday. On Sunday the men race a 15km classic distance race and the women and juniors a 10K classic distance race. The race course is very spectator-friendly allowing viewing from the stadium bleachers as well as alongside the race course.
MVSTA is honored to host a race of this caliber. Racers and spectators will be treated to the all best the Methow Valley has to offer.
