Weather - Unseasonably Warm


Despite mother nature's best efforts to spoil the winter fun, the 2010 Great Bear Chase is in the books. A week of warm weather diminished the snow pack resulting in significant changes to the course including elimination of the downtown start and finish. Despite the changes, over 300 skiers pushed their way through soggy trails to the finish of another successful Keweenaw event.
Results are up at: www.bearchase.org Photos will be up soon at: www.brockit.com but until then the photo above was grabbed from Greg Maino at www.juskuz.com who was shooting on behalf of brockit.com
Looks like spring is here or maybe its just a teaser.....

Is it Great Bear Chase Time?


Even though its 40 and sunny outside, don't let it fool you...the weather here can change in an instant. What's in store for the Great Bear Chase on Saturday, March 13th? Hard to say but we've had everything from well below zero to 40+, so keep an eye on the forecast to determine if it will be warm weather klister or the hardest cold weather wax in your bag.

If you are looking for other activities to take in over the weekend, head on over to http://www.copperdog150.com/ and find out about this new dogsledding event being held the same weekend as Bear Chase.
