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.
