This has not been an easy season. Races were cancelled due to lack of snow, then bitter cold and later deep fresh snow followed by ran challenged race organizers. Those who made the most of this season were rewarded with great results and some unique race experiences. Enjoy the snow while it lasts, then get ready for next season.
