Skiers must have skill and gusto to race on 16’ wooden skis with only a long pole to use as a break as part of the annual World Championship Longboard Races held each winter by the Plumas Ski Club. The three-race series kicks off on Jan. 20 at Johnsville Historic Ski Bowl at Plumas-Eureka State Park in Johnsville, about an hour north of Truckee.
Races are welcome to join these fun races enacting those that date back to the 1850s. The events are popular with spectators. Plan to bring a picnic and take advantage of the shuttles as parking is limited. Races are also held Feb. 17 and March 16. | plumasskiclub.org
