The temperature was not the only hot thing this weekend as the NWVT Ski Club heated things up on the area ski scene. Kicking off the weekend making his first race appearance in the 05 season, Kevin Bessett traveled to Lake Placid to compete in the 23rd Annual Lake Placid Loppet. Kevin completed the 50km skate race in 3:03:42.9, placing well in the very competitive field. Meanwhile at Morse Farm Damian Bolduc was unopposed for the weekly 5k series. Due to a lack of interest the series may be called off. With Sunday came another great day of warm temps, and Ichabod's Revenge at Sleepy Hollow. And revenge it was. Fielding six racers in the field of 28 NWVT had a racer every where you looked, which must have made things interesting for the NWVT fans which filled the picnic table in the Sleepy Hollow Stadium. We thank the Wilson's and Bolduc's for the unbelievable inspiration. Leading the way for the club was Perry Bland finishing in 48:52. He was followed closely by the battling duo of Lary Martell 50:37, and Scott Magnan 50:59. The next Wave of NWVT came in lead by Brendan Barden with a 54:38, then team sponsor Spike Clayton from the Skirack 55:23, and lastly Damian Bolduc in a 55:49. It was an exciting race between these three as they were continuously passing each other throughout a better part of the race. Congratulations to all the racers who I am sure benefited from having such close races with each other. Hopefully we can do it again in some of the exciting races coming up in February and March
