| I did not go to race at L-Peak tonight, a number of reasons, so I went to Parkside and skiied ZZZ Strip. It a famous stretch along the woods line that holds snow forever! Steve attempted to groom yesterday and it did not work out, snow to light and thin to pack down. I only base my distance on time at 5 min. per K. Guess I will go tomorow and do it again. Its a shame that every where else got bombed with snow except up. |
