racing skis if you already haven done so Racing skis arc lighter narrower and faster than regular touring skis I have a pair of mm skis that arc very satisfactory for any event that I care lo enter Also I would suggest that you invest In racing bindings and boots In my opinion it is not a good decision have the wider bindings from your louring skis mounted on racing skis I discovered the hard way that the wider bindings lend to brush against the sides of machine groomed tracks causing friction and thereby retarding the gliding capability PREPARATION AND PLANNING FOR LONG DISTANCE MARATHONS Most skiers have neither tho time nor the funds to enter more than several events during the season particularly those involving out of town travel and accommodation recommend that you determine the event or events of your choice as early In the season as possible McGilloway paces ReMax to victory Dave had vl goals as Acton Re- Max thumped Nick Mar tlna Motors in Georgetown Contact Hockey League
