Third day of construction.
Today saw the final touches put on the Thredbo Mountain Cross course. Because of limited ski field space, this above ground temporary track is located in the same location as last year. Glen used 1200 tonnes of soil, 2 excavators, 3 4 wheelers, 7 workers with rakes and shovels as well as compactors to finish the track in a record 3 days. Unlike larger permanent courses, the Thredbo course will be in place until first snow. It will then be plowed into the ground to make way for the beginner ski area.
Glen is now back in Canberra to get the new Mt Stromlo Mountain Cross course into a race ready condition. The course will be open for 1 day during the Brindabella challenge, but will be closed again until the Nationals Championships in January 2007. The track will be open to the public after this event.
