This weekend, March 8Th and 9Th is without a doubt shaping up to be one of the funnest this season.
King Pine and The New England Sled Dog Club are happy to announce their first annual Sled Dog Race Classic happening this weekend on and around Lake Purity. In conjunction with this new tradition, is a very special, very sentimental celebration called the Marky B Boardfest now in its eighth year.
On Saturday and Sunday Dog teams will be competing in 6 different categories starting at 9:00 A.M. each day and ending at 4:00 P.M. Viewing will be possible from many different vantage points including some that require snowshoes or cross country skis to access (a $5 trail pass would be required, and rentals are available). The nice thing about this event, is that people of any ability, of any age, can come outside, breathe fresh air and enjoy old fashioned, family fun. Refreshments, lunches, snacks and souvenirs will be available for purchase. Admission however, is free. Volunteers are needed for this event- please contact us by calling 800-373-3754 x215 or by emailing.
Saturday afternoon and evening the Trails End Tavern in the base lodge of King Pine offers live entertainment for your socializing pleasure. Justin Jaymes' acoustic jams are lined up from about 2:00-4:00 followed by our own acoustic open mike night- ending, well... when it ends!
Don't forget, daylight savings time is Saturday night!!! Spring ahead one hour- so don't have TOO much fun Saturday night, you'll need to be up bright and early Sunday for the Marky B 7:30 A.M. registration!
The Marky B Boardfest is a memorial race for Mark Bierweiler son of Chip and Barb, long time employees of King Pine. Proceeds from this annual event enrich current snowboarding programs at King Pine and make the sport available to children in the community who may otherwise not be able to participate.
Race day registration begins at the King Pine base lodge at 7:30 A.M. and racing begins at 9:30 A.M. Included in the $40 registration fee is a lunch voucher, one raffle ticket and race fees. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased for chances to win generously donated restaurant gift certificates, goggles, helmets, snowboards and much more.
The race format is the best 2 out of 3 runs combined times through a unique slalom with rolls, hits and jumps. There are male and female categories: 10 and under, 11-15, 16-20, 21-27, 28-34, 35-49 and 50+. Awards are given to the top 3 finishers in all categories.
