Congratulations to everyone who made it up to a snowy Crowbar! And cheers to Eric Bunce for taking the overall win (see below for the race and rec results, full results can also be found here: https://ultrasignup.com/results_event.aspx?did=35167). Eric is our Wasatch Citizen Series race coordinator i.e. the guy who sets up and takes down the Tuesday night race courses. If you see him, congratulate him and thank him for setting the course. And better yet, show your appreciation by helping him set-up and/or take down the courses! Interested? Sign up here: https://www.timetosignup.com/utahskimo/view/46047. Any and all are welcome-no experience necessary, all that’s needed is you, your enthusiasm and your skis/skins.
