This just in on the Thunderbolt Ski Runners Facebook page:

"The 2013 Thunderbolt Ski Race has been officially postponed until March 2nd due to a lack of snow. We will not race on February 9th. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a snowy February. Stay tuned as race slots may become available in the coming week."

Cool. I am playing the Chameleon club in Pittsfield March 1. Might try to snag a slot or just show up to spectate. Are you allowed to ski the run before or while the race is being run? Could anyone stop you?

I don't think they can arrest you for skiing on the trail while the race is going on. But, why ruin it for everyone?

I wasn't saying that I wanted to ruin for anyone...much less everyone.. I amy be an idiot but I am not that much of a douche bag. I was more thinking of skiing down a bit, off course and between racers, to stop and watch at different vantage points.

No Thunderbolt race this year. Just posted on Thunderbolt Ski Runners FB page:

"Final 2013 Thunderbolt Race Update

"The race is a NO-GO. Sorry everybody. Current trail conditions and the 3 day forecast prevent us from being able to bring you better news.

"Again...the race is a NO-GO for 2013.

"Thunderfest still goes on from noon to 5 PM."
