Thunderbolt Race - Saturday February 20th

billski · Jan 6, 2010

The race is in full gear. It promises to be a BIG DEAL with a very large crowd. 75th anniversary. You should seriously consider coming out for the day to watch - it is a very historic race. I'll be there as a timing volunteer.

Thunderbolt trail was cut by the CCC on Greylock Mountain in the northern Berkshires of Massachusetts.

I have been hearing a lot of talk about this race locally. A group of Sundown Patrollers are heading up to compete and volunteer. It sounds like a lot of fun.

I got on the waitlist, but I think my likelihood of getting in the race is pretty slim at this point. This thing sold out QUICK!

More stoke from AMC Outdoors magazine.

It's the happening place to be on Feb 20th! :snow:

It's going to be wild with all that vert done nonstop.

Cool stuff. Anybody else on here competing?

Not including the time it takes to skin up the mountain in your race time = lame.

It's not a rando race, and more historically accurate to do it this way.

I hope they get a few good storms before then... Looks pretty bony in skidmarks' pictures... Who knows what shape it would be in for the folks heading out post 2:00PM

Not really knowing what you are talking about but thinking you do = equally lame

The ascent IS part of the event. We have a 19 inch trophy waiting for the person who is the fastest UP and Down waiting.

3 weeks to go....and we definitely need snow! The course is unskiable from top to bottom right now. Snow dance anybody?

Just FYI: Revised Race Day Maps....(edit...are these showing up, can't see them on my screen?)
