Message From The Race Director
Hello Snowshoer's!
Well it's almost that time to pack up all the summer stuff and get your winter gear out to be used. I spoke to Mother Nature about last seasons events and she assured me that she was going to be a lot nicer to us this year. We have so much happening this year I'm just going to get right into it. Enjoy the Yeti SnowTimes Newsletter and please let me know if there is something that you would like to read about in this newsletter.

Date Change for Mt. Washington
We had originally set the first race for February 4th but we didn't want to have the first 2 events so close together. Now it'll be easier for you do both of them. We have changed the date to January 21st. Go to the Mt. Washington page on the website to find out about accommodations, directions, times and what's going on for the rest of the weekend. We're trying to set up a snowshoe race/ski package so you can make a weekend out of the trip. Plan on sticking around for the party on Saturday Night at Fat Teddy's, I think that there might be some free beer from Sleeman's to start the night out on the right foot.
