Advices on how to get to Blanc-Sablon

There are many ways to get to Blanc-Sablon. The easy way is to get here by plane. However, there is a second way to get here via Deer Lake (Newfoundland). Many airlines go to Deer Lake Airport (YDF). From there, you can either connect with a local airline to Blanc-Sablon or drive to the St-Barbe-Blanc-Sablon Ferry (3H30 drive). If you choose that option, you should reserve your place on the Ferry at this adress: www.marine-atlantic.ca. For Ferry schedule click here.

Yet again, Mother Nature gave a perfect day for racing the Frigid Infliction with temps getting into the upper 20s, fresh falling snow. After getting maps and having some time for questions and plotting, teams walked along a dark trail to starting line lit by luminaries. At 5:18, the racers were off - three snowshoe points in any order had the first teams back in just over an hour. From there, 4 cross-country ski points brought them to a crackling fire and smiling Jim who had them start candles for gear-check. One more CP and TA 2 meant a new map and leaving skis behind for an hour or so of post-holing toward the tyrollean traverse. With four ropes (kept tightened :) there weren't many bottlenecks, and most teams got past the challenge without needing assistance. Last but not least, 7 snowshoe points in any order, including a small cave (!) and a smiling family. Finally, the finishline! With a time on course of 7:49, Team Eastern Mountain Sports and EnduranceAventure.com crossed together in 1st place after trading the lead all day. All teams were more than happy to shower, grab some Madhouse Munchies, and wait for dinner and prizes.
