Extractions: 5th Annual Frisco Ski Orienteering Event Frisco Nordic Center March 4, 2000 What a beautiful cloudless day we had. The only complaints I had were about what wax to use. Lots of shortcuts between the groomed trails. Elis learned that his new map holder wasn't waterproof so after a few spills the ink on the map started to fade. That is one problem of making maps on an ink jet printer. We did have zip lock bags with strings attached, which worked reasonably well. Maps were pre-printed with codes on the map. Our meet crew included all the World Masters medal winners from the United States. Probably the oldest group ever to run a meet also. Mil took care of start and finish timing while George Bramhall handled registration. Margareta and Betty assisted with instruction. Beatrice and Margareta helped pick up controls. Thanks to all. Sharon designed the courses and then left for Bulgaria and Siberia to race in the World Masters Ski-O Championships and the World Ski-O Championships. Many thanks to the staff at the Frisco Nordic Center for making this wonderful facility available to us for the fifth year in a row. It is a pity that more club members are not skiers. The center gives us a great deal on ski passes making overall cost less than a daily pass. Results Long Course 6.7 km

The only complaints I had were about what wax to use. Lots of shortcuts between the groomed trails with really deep snow to get through. Maps were preprinted with codes on the map. Sharon Crawford again designed the three courses, then left to compete in the Canadian Ski Marathon and World Master's Ski-O Championships in Italy. She brought home her 15th Gold in the CSM and first place in the WMSO championships. It was nice to see one group enjoy the course, including a stops for picture taking and some lunch.

Bluedome Ski Orienteering Ski orienteering is a crosscountry endurance winter sport. Havingits origins in the 1890s, ski orienteering is a sport with long traditions. http://www.bluedome.co.uk/Orienteering/skiorient.html
Extractions: Ski Orienteering Ski orienteering is a cross-country endurance winter sport. Similar to the orienteering disciplines practised in the summer season, ski orienteering requires an extremely high level of both physical and mental fitness. An elite level ski-orienteer needs excellent skiing and map reading skills - and the ability to combine those two. The athlete has to take hundreds of route choice decisions at high speed during every race. The prepared ski tracks are of various quality. Throughout the competition the ski orienteer has to make decisions about which route is the fastest between the controls. The route choice is made on the basis of the quality of the ski tracks, gradient and distance, all of which can be read from the map.
