Chisholm
Ski Club and Black Mountain of Maine were
hosts to both the 2003 and 2004 Chevrolet US Cross
Country Championships. At these events, we witnessed
a record field of North America's best nordic skiers
and those
skiers
looking to represent the
United
States on
the World
Cup Cross Country Circuit.
Since hosting this event
in 1999, the Chisholm Ski Club has held the inaugural U.S.
Sprint competition, which evolved into an Olympic event and
a regular event on the World Cup tour.
Racing rules and needs have
changed, and it required changes to our course at Black
Mountain. Provisions were also made for a new mass start which was needed
for the 30 and 50 kilometer races, the final events of
the week. All course changes were reviewed and received full compliance
for FIS level competition.
The
snow making system was expanded to cover
5km of the trail network, assuring the races
went
on in
ideal race conditions. Mother Nature did
her part by dumping a healthy dose of fresh snow
for the racers. Excellent trail
grooming
assured that the courses stayed in world
class condition throughout the week.
The 2005 US Cross Country Championships
were hosted by Soldier Hollow in Midway, Utah from January 3rd through January
10th.
