On behalf of Rainbow Resort and the JOQ race organizer committee, I want to thank all of you, who participated in Rainbow Resort-JOQ event, volunteers, racers, parents, coaches, officials, and sponsors, again for your tremendous support for this weekend’s event. We are very grateful for having great weather and great people around in this xc skiing community. We look forward to hosting more events and visiting with all of you for years to come.
Also, we will continuously take strides to improve our trail system and organization as a whole and make these events a great memory for all of you.
We wish you the best in this season, and hope to visit with you again some time soon.
