In its 12-year history, the SISU Ski Fest in Ironwood only had to cancel once because the snow conditions weren’t able to support the race.
Race Director Jackie Powers didn’t want this to be another year without a race, so she and other organizers decided back in July to make modifications.
“In the summer we for-saw that things were only going to get worse and not better before January,” said Powers. “We made the decision in July to switch to a virtual event so that we could plan something that we hoped was going to be worthwhile and still fun and still competitive and safe and not to be canceled.”
