Ski Orienteering race (Dewey Mtn) 1:50:24 [4] *** 25.0 km (4:25 / km)
spiked:18/20c shoes: Salomon 9.1 Skate 1999?
Snow report looked great from home, so only brought skate skis. Found that the groomer (snowmobile) was broken, so the top third of the hill was ungroomed. On top of that, one key trail was completely washed out in several places, in addition to being ungroomed and having an extra trail missing from the map.
Double-poling was a challenge in the ungroomed areas since poles sunk to the ground, under 12-18 inches of snow. I'm quite sure that classic skis would have been much faster.
