The XC Skiing thread

[lumpy]

Finally did my 1st XC race yesterday. 20k skate. Took me 1:09 for a mid pack age group finish. I suffered at least as much as any cx race I've done. I think my fitness is ok but I've A LOT of technique work to do. I might just be hooked.

Once I'm done schlepping number two son around to alpine races, I really want to do some skate races. I'm gonna get my ass so kicked.

Most of the lower elevation (< 6500') are dead. NCAA Nats are on artificial snow this week. At least it's still winter higher up (> 8000').

Lots of warm weather, but the trails are still holding up. Some of the best skiing of the year.

My favorite time of year to ski. With the sun, 14° seems much warmer in mid March than it does in January. (There's something inherently wrong about that statement ) Got out for about 20K yesterday. Good times.
