February 5, 2005, the 30th annual 32-kilometer (19.8-mile) cross-country ski tour. The course was the historical trail starting at Senate Creek near Galena Lodge Touring Center 23 miles north of Ketchum and ending at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area headquarters 8 miles north of Ketchum. Title sponsor was Wells Fargo.
Of the 830 racers who finished the course—125 fewer than last year—510 were male and 320 female. Senior racers were Charley French, 78, of Ketchum and Ruth Grubisic, 69, of Rossland, B.C., Canada. The youngest, 10, was Ketchum Wilt of Hailey. Of the 830 finishers, 195 or 24% of the total field listed Wood River Valley addresses, meaning 76% came from out of the valley.
Finishing times of the locals who completed the American Ski Marathon Series course are listed by age class in hours, minutes and seconds. Overall rankings appear after each racer's name. Identified in bold are local age-class placers, and overall winners.
