Organizers in the Netherlands say it is still too early to decide if a 125-mile (200-kilometer) skating marathon across frozen waterways can be staged for the first time in 15 years. Members of the Frisian Eleven Cities Association met Wednesday night to discuss the state of the ice along the route that is made up of frozen canals, rivers and lakes in the northern province of Friesland.

Association chairman Wiebe Wieling told a nationally televised news conference "We can't let the tour go ahead at the moment." The association says it needs ice six inches (15 centimeters) thick over the entire track before they can give the green light.

The Dutch are starting to warm up in their first official cold snap since 1997 as area supervisors from the Elfstedentocht or ‘Eleven Cities Tour’ association have confirmed they are convening this evening to discuss the possibility of a 2012 event.

In Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the chairman of the association, Wiebe Wieling, said the ongoing freezing temperatures are low enough to warrant preliminary talks. “The chance of an Eleven Cities Tour happens once in 15 years. As a thaw has not been forecast in the immediate future, we want to explore the options further.”

The cold spell in The Netherlands in late January and early February 2012 has heightened the expectation of a 2012 Elfstedentocht. Last time this tour took place was in 1997.
