Frigid 2013 Writeup
We’re glad the 2013 MVP Health Care Frigid Infliction was held at Bolton Valley Resort. In the valleys of Vermont, things were a little wet, and the snow had given way to rain. Luckily, Bolton has the elevation required for a proper winter race. While we didn’t get a three foot dump like we do […]
