Deepest Snowshoe field?

There was a little chatter after the Horse Hill race this weekend about it being the “deepest field” for a snowshoe race in NH.  The field was definitely deep and there was an excellent battle up front for the top spot.  I investigated a bit and I think it wasn’t even the deepest field in NH this YEAR.  There are a bunch of ways to try and figure out depth of field.  I went with both percent back.  Based on that Sidehiller this year would be the deepest field with 31 finishers within 20% of the winner (and 14 within 10% of the winner).  At Horse Hill only 14 finished within 20% and 10 within 10% of the winner. 

 

Looking at all of New England there are three races in Northfield that had very deep fields and the deepest field in the history of New England snowshoe racing has to be the National Championships at Bolton Valley in 2006.  In a little over 2 weeks we’ll see if the field at Prospect Mountain can blow that away!
