Smartwool Wasatch Citizens Series race #3
A 12-kilometer free technique (skate) race with start and finish in the stadium. Shorter distances for youngsters, oldsters, novices, and sit skiers. Registration in the Day Lodge from 8:30 to 9:30. Younger juniors and sit skiers start at 10:00, and adults at about 10:20 after the others have finished. Lunch will be served in the lodge after the race, compliments of Nate Wade Subaru.
Note that this will be a 3-lap race on a 4K loop. We'll ski a course similar to the last event, except we'll go farther out Pony Express before turning back on Goin' Home. Also, we'll go out City Slicker and back on Little Buckaroo before heading down into the stadium.
Another note: We'll be handing out Smartwool shirts to season pass holders. If you come early, you can pick yours up before the race and beat the crowd afterwards.

Sildenafil Study
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 12/19/2011 - 16:3860+ and Fit?
If you are over age 60 and participate in rigorous recreational activities at moderate altitude, then you might be interested in participating in our study. This study is exploring the finding that sildenafil (Viagra) makes endurance-type exercise at high altitude easier in younger people. The investigators are testing whether this medication could also allow older persons to enjoy vigorous mountain recreation for longer periods of time and for more years. The study will take place over 3 separate days (approximately 2 hrs per study session). One study session will take place at LDS Hospital and two of the study sessions will be held at Intermountain Medical Center in a decompression chamber that simulates high altitude.
Basic Qualifications:
• 60 years and older
• Male or female
• Healthy
• Regularly active at moderate altitudes (around 7,000 to 9,000 ft)
Reasons/conditions that would exclude you from the study:

Important TUNA Junior Program Information
Submitted by Richard Hodges on Fri, 04/29/2011 - 19:37Dear TUNA Members and Friends:
The Utah Nordic Alliance (TUNA) Board of Trustees has recently made some changes in our Junior Ski Programs. We have decided to expand the focus of and develop a more formal athlete progression track in our Youth Programs. We have gathered feedback and information over the last several seasons from parents, regional programs, national programs and athletes to find a path to improve our Junior athlete’s skills and participation no matter their ultimate skiing aspirations. TUNA’s volunteer Trustees have invested a great amount of time, consideration and effort in this challenging process.
