Wasatch Citizen Race Series 1/12/12


Last night was the first of (hopefully) many nighttime races at Brighton. Temps were a balmy 7F, with no wind and clear skies. If not for all the lights, the stars would have been spectacular I'm sure. With the holiday racing series having decent attendance, this was sure to be a well-attended, fun event as well. The course started at the bottom of the snake creek lift, and climbed up to the top of the majestic lift via skinning and a short bootpack. The format was burn as many laps as you could in 60 minutes. I got 6 laps in just over 60 minutes, which was good for me, but not the 8 laps that the Drs. Dorais did.

 Hopefully everyone that came out had a fun time--I certainly did!

 Thanks Doraises, Brighton, Brighton Ski Patrol for making it happen!

Scoutmaster Andy instructing the troops.

Stratos boots, 2 pairs of Pierre Gignoux, Carbon Aliens, TONS of pairs of TLT5s, F1s, and 4 buckle beefies were seen on racers. My son asked why everyone was wearing miner helmets at the race. 

After 60 minutes of hypoxic recreation, get your relax on!
