Spirit of the Mountains / BV Open
2012 Spirit of the Mountains
Sunday February 12, 2012 will be our Spirit of the Mountains / BV Open Race.
This year will be Freestyle – Reverse pursuit
The first race will be a mass-start timed race for names on the Ken Stewart memorial trophies. Each skier’s finish time will then be used as their start time for a fun race with the clock counting down to a “mass finish”.

If you are super keen, download this kmz file (Spirit-Mtns-XC-Routes.kmz) and open it in Google Earth.
It will show up in Google Earth’s Temporary Places in the Places pane on the left. You can click the triangle to expand Spirit-Mtns-XC-Routes to be able to see the individual routes. They can be selected to turn each route on or off. Also, if you right-click a route name, you can select Show Elevation Profile to get way too much information of questionable accuracy but still amazing!

Note: The Pee Wee category was split into Pee Wees and Mini Midgets. Pee Wees aged 9 & 10 will race 1.5 km. Mini Midgets (11-12 year old boys and 11 year old girls) will race 2.5 km. This change was done based on feedback plus the desire to enable ongoing use of our Ken Stewart Memorial trophies which includes the traditional mini-midget category. Other that this change, the categories follow Cross Country BC guidelines for BC Cup series.
| Category | Distance |
|---|---|
| Atoms | 800 m |
| Pee Wees | 1.5 km |
| Mini Midgets | 2.5 km |
| Midgets & Juveniles | 5 km |

We used our standard race courses plus the section that twists through the bumps next to our stadium area.
