"The snow is definitely cooperating," said Pam Beckstrom, organizer for the Race to the Sky. More powder is predicted for next week as well. "I'm really excited about that."
The amount of snow also means an event that has been halted for at least the last three years -- the commemorative run at Camp Rimini -- can taken place in 2017.

The hell with a silly race. A lot of people depend on dog sleds OR snow mobiles just to get around. To hunt to trap. Plus they relay on the rivers freezing.
Climate change can or will pit the hurts to those people more than us.
