From the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, February 28th, 2007:
Winterfest in Big Sky is scheduled for Sunday, March 4.
The day will include five different cross-country ski race events, at thee Big Sky Community Park, and all geared towards getting locals, visitors, families and individuals out and about and enjoying the snow. There will be various children's events and races through out the day as well.
There are five adult races scheduled for the day and numerous children's races. Adult races include both a skate and a Nordic four-person relay where each racer must use the same pair of skis to complete the loop. There will be an adult/child race where the adult pulls a child in a polk; these ski sleds (polks) must be used for the adult/child event, limited numbers will be available at the event courtesy of Lone Mountain Ranch. Lone Mountain Ranch will also have ski equipment available for those needing it. The last two adult events include dog joring and a three-legged race. In the three-legged race, teams of two must have their middle legs bound together for the entire length of the track.
