Today and tomorrow there are NCAA RMISA races, hosted by Western State College, in Crested Butte. The Colorado High School Activities Association hosts the Colorado State Championships at Devil's Thumb Ranch in Winter Park. AND, in Aspen, the Owl Creek Chase goes down on Saturday. With Subaru Factory and TeamFSX skiers attending, among others, this should be a good, tough race.

Next weekend are the final two Junior Olympic Qualifier races, held in Carbondale and Aspen. Carbondale's race will be individual start classic races, and Aspen will hold mass-start skate races and, in the afternoon, 100m., winner advances, drag races. Saturday night, the Junior Olympic team will be named. A little farther north, the Steamboat Pursuit, a Colorado Cup event, and way down south in New Mexico, the 33rd Annual Chama Chili Classic.
