id be game - i was pondering organizing something like this for this
year, small and low-key, like "if snow on weekend, then snowcross at
(place) at (time)" - but snowpacalypse happened before i got my ducks
in a row.

course marking would be easy...

I’d race… I’ve been doing some cross riding in the snow. It’s as much “fun” as the mud bogs of Hillsboro and a lot easier to clean off.

More snowball!

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Mavericks style snow cross race?

Each year there is a monster surf contest at Mavericks, an epic surf spot in California with giant waves up to 50 feet tall. The conditions need to be just right for the surf to be epic and the contestants are given only 24 hours notice that "it's on".

In fact, some years the contest does not happen because the condition do not present themselves. It may not be possible, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. I think it would be awsome if there were a snow cyclocross race that was contingent upon the necessary weather conditions even if the detail of which were announced last minute.

OBRA officials: Is it possible?

OBRA racers: Would you race?
