Training Log Archive: Ari-o

Went to volunteer for the Kortie, but they actually wound up with enough volunteers after they put a call out, so I interviewed volunteers which actually made for a really good podcast. Watched the starts, then grabbed my skis and skied around for a bit. Fell once crossing a plow row, whoops. But nice skiing. Course will be fast tomorrow, but not as fast as it would have been before the new snow, although the second half may transform well today. It was 30 but skiing like 10 because the snow pack is cold.

Then I spied a narrow trail! They have a fat bike trail which is groomed 1.2m wide and felt like a perfect ski-o trail. One of these years (maybe next year!) BirkieGuide.com should sponsor a ski orienteering event on Sunday at the on-snow demo day. And OO would make a very nice venue, with some narrow trails pre-cut (it would only take a couple cut throughs to make it a nice maze, and there is a wide trail network it intersects, too).

I have ideas and might be out here for a few days in September …
