FRYEBURG — After weeks of dryland training making the most of what Mother Nature has provided in the way of natural snow in between rain and ice, the Fryeburg Academy cross-country ski team is ready to race.
The Raiders opened their racing calendar at home on Wednesday, hosting Portland, Waynflete and Yarmouth, at Stark’s Hill in Fryeburg. It’s a quick turnaround for the team, which is scheduled to ski in the annual Telstar Relays in Bethel, Maine, on Saturday at 11 a.m.
