ESG Information
(from Eric Hamilton)Word from ORDA is that ski conditions at Mt. Van Hoevenberg are marginal: icy with bare spots. The 3 to 4 inches of light snow that they received last Friday has made all trails skiable with caution. Cold temperatures this week have been a great help in holding the snow especially in the woods.
Due to the International Biathlon occuring on the north (biathlon side) of the entrance road, all our courses start and end in the cross country stadium. And they use the trails on the south (cross Country) side.
Courses being prepared include the following:
BLUE - 13k w/ 7 controls for Male Open;
RED - 9.2 k w/ 6 controls for Female Open and Male Masters;
GREEN - 5.1 k w/ 6 controls for Female Masters, Female Scholastic and
Male Scholastic. These may change as the courses are refined.
The one way trails shown as such on the map must be followed.
