Warm up and then SkiO around the lower trails. Had groomed surface lightly, but it was frozen and rough.

C • 3 weeks to the Birkie 2

Around the trails with Ruthie. Open fields were windblown, but those thru the woods were well groomed and nice. Enjoyed the Outer Loop and views from 1950.

C • Retired? 2

Trails well groomed and in good shape. Around freezing, but felt much colder and neither purple 7 nor red 8 worked, dragged. Could have tried blue 6 for fresh snow.

Met up with Jud Hartman right away and skied up over the top. Met a group of ladies struggling on the downhill and Jud very nicely stopped and gave them a short lesson on technique. Encountered them later on the lap and stopped again. Started to get chilled in fingers and toes from standing around.

Came down and he went in, I planned on some quick short laps to warm up. Immediately met up with Tom Davidson and more casual skiing and talking resulted.

Finally was really chilled and called it quits. Still, good skiing.

1" new snow on top of frozen groomed chunks. Nice surface.
Relaxed night ski.

Tuesday night race around the homologated 5 km course. Fast course, good wax (HF7 for mid 20's hard snow). Three good hills, first 2 okay, but last up Screaming Mimi was one for puking, felt whipped at the top.
