Nailed it today.

Easy classic ski at Larch Hills. Went up Metford, around Ermine Loop, Reino's to South Hub. Up the Road to Cec's, Larch Lake Loop, back down the road adding in Frodo's bog. Whoopee loops, Panorama haven't been groomed yet.

Conditions were pretty good, all Ginzu grooming so far, but supposed to snow a lot tomorrow so I expect we'll get the big machine out later in the week. Chalet expansion looks excellent as well, and new sprint trails seem a little less in your face this year.

Started the map file for U of Toronto Mississauga Campus today. Contour data isn't as good as I was hoping unfortunately - the data processing done on their end was pretty crummy (contours stopping and starting again). Bit annoying, will have to connect them together and fake missing sections a bit. Got georeferenced imagery - about 2 years old in, will supplement with cross checking with 2017 google imagery in the browser (have yet to figure out how to export this from google in a georeferenced format). Tracing starts tomorrow.

Just got home to Salmon Arm from Kelowna, skiing and training starting back up now - exams are done.

I find the situation regarding doping and cross country skiing very sad and disappointing. I'm finding it very hard to cheer for Ustiugov and Bolshunov considering what the evidence suggests their team-mates have done, but at the same time they could be completely clean and Klaebo isn't. Who knows? But at any rate, I have very little faith in cross country skiing at the moment. Guess I'm just going to have to keep on watching Biathlon (not that it's any better, but there is more of a mental component).

World of O Days 12 and 13.

And then a random map from Norway: http://langtur.net/show_map.php?user=Paul&map=...

For some reason my garmin didn't want to sync to connect today, so couldn't get the track into attackpoint.
