The Screamin' Snowman
a 5K & 10K Snowshoe Race
February 8, 2004
Eldora Mountain Resort, Nederland, Colorado
It was a three-peat for Vail's Anita Ortiz, while Bernie Boettcher claimed his first Screamin' Snowman 10K title on a cold and windy February morning.
The weather conditions at the start of the 2004 Screamin' Snowman were similar to those in 2003 - cold and gusty. But Silt's Bernie Boettcher made sure the outcome was much different. In 2003, Boettcher took second place, a mere 8 seconds behind winner Josiah Middaugh. This year, he wasn't taking any chances as he put over a minute-and-a-half between himself and second place finisher Travis Macy, who won the inaugural Screamin' Snowman 10K in 2001.
The course began with a mass sprint up the kids ski slope at Eldora Mountain Resort in Nederland, Colorado. Racers fought the wind as they jockeyed for position before entering the shelter of the forest. Over the next 6 miles, racers would cover a tough rolling course on a mix of singletrack trail, lightly tracked fresh powder, and a bit of totally untracked deep snow. The rolling route would eventually top out at the Tennessee Mountain Cabin before plunging back down to the finish at the Eldora Nordic Center.
While the men's race was fairly close for much of the 10K loop, the women's was less exciting, as Ortiz put 7 minutes between herself and second place. For Ortiz, the win marked her third consecutive victory in the 4-year old event.
For the second year, the Screamin' Snowman served as a regional qualifying race for the USSSA National Championships.
In the accompanying 5K event, Aaron Fink took the runner-up spot for the third straight year, crossing the line just 24 seconds behind winner Greg Polseo. In the women's race, the top-4 finishers crossed the line in a span of just 26 seconds, with Boulder's Laurie Edwards taking home first place in 38:01.
