Rain on top of snow doesn’t deter skiers

Mother Nature blanketed the Kenai Peninsula with a perfect 29 inches of snow just in time for the Kachemak Nordic Ski Club’s Fourth Anual Ski Your Age event Dec. 26 at the Lookout Mountain Trails.

Rain quickly turned the perfect powder to slush, however. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, the event brought 50 smiling faces of all ages and skill levels to Ohlson Mountain.

The event was split into four categories: the Century Challenge, Ski-Meister Challenge, Family Challenge, and Individual.

Megan Spurkland, the sole competitor in the Century Club Challenge, skied the longest distance of 67km; 100km less the competitor’s age.
