THANK YOU!

Thanks to all participants, volunteers, and sponsors who made the 2008 Book Across the Bay the biggest and best ever. We had nearly 2,300 skiers and snowshoers—a jump of 500 over last year.

We are sorry that we ran out of tshirts at registration this year. Frankly, we didn't expect this big of a crowd! If you registered and paid for a tshirt, there will be shirts available at the Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce office (805 Lakeshore Drive W. in Ashland) by Wednesday, Feb. 20. If you registered for the race and didn't pay for a tshirt but would like to get one, they will be available for $2 at the Chamber of Commerce office.

What does a nighttime ski race across frozen Lake Superior look like?
