The YT date this year is Jan 24/25. I may not be around but feel free to run the course (MAPS are on the Photo page - click on the tab above) and e-mail me your time and I'll fwd them to Tero at the worldwide YT site. http://www.seponkotisivut.com/kotirata/yourstruly.php A group of 10 of use made it around the course on Sat. Jan 3rd. with help of another group going the opposite direction taking over 5 hrs for a single 25K loop (about 21K on snowshoes). Even wearing snowshoes the lead person was sinking in up past their knees. It should be a little better now with milder weather and a stomped down path all the way around. However, remember that the top end of the loop is above 800M elevation and the snow may still be accumulating up there. Here's the event info: SOUTHWEST BRITISH COLUMBIA YOURS TRULY 50K & 25K 2009 Malcolm Knapp Research Forest Saturday Jan 24th 2008 8:30am This is an unorganized non-event.
