The 5th Annual Atlas Snowshoe Shuffle was held this past weekend at Swampy Lakes Sno Park. And despite the blustery and snowy conditions, everyone walked away from the event with smiles on their faces. This year's event consisted of both a 5K and 10K race, with the 10K serving as a regional qualifier for the National Championships. The loop course consisted of everything from tracked trails, to untracked powder, flats, up-hills, and down-hills. The 5K'ers went around one time, while the 10K participants looped around for a second trip. All racers were greeted at the finish line with some homemade vegetarian chili and cornbread from Appetite Delicatessen.

Top Overall winners were Max King and Sarah Raitter for the 10K event and the ever formidable husband and wife team of Michael and Nancy Bonetto in the 5K. All in all a great day and lots of fun for everyone!!
