The 2005 Stokely Creek Club Nordic 15k Time Trial was held on Saturday, February 26th. The day was very cold initially at –26 C° delaying the start of the race by 1 hour to 11am. There had been snow the day before and this was freshly groomed for both skating and classic skiing. By the time the racers set off the temperature was –12 C° and the sun was bright and warm. The skiers were challenged by the 15k course that included Heart Attack Hill and Jack Rabbit Pass before the final descent down Home Run Hill.

After their efforts the participants enjoyed a lunch of brats on a bun and vegetarian chilli at the day skiers cabin. Awards and prizes were presented for overall winners in the classic and skate categories for both men and women. In addition, hand crafted awards were presented to both men and women in decade age groups for classic and skate skiing. All competitors were entered in the raffle. The draw included two pair of Rossinol graphite ski poles, 2 ski bags, 2 waist packs, Stokely toques and a variety of ski brushes and waxes. See the Stokely web site next ski season for information on the 2006 Nordic Time Trial at Stokely.
