Fun time at Frisco Ski-O. Excellent weather, but snow was a bit thin and some rocks/wood chips showed through. Probably nothing spectacular in terms of speed and a few route choice errors, but nothing major. Elevation is about 9000', only slightly higher than the Jack, but it seems to affect me more here, can only ski in the high gear for a bit.

Ski after the O, nice to ski in some solid tracks, last half hour was pretty ugly but I got through it. Also, I know that I am getting board of the Jack, so it was nice to ski somewhere else.

Long Ski-O - Splits

Lance is the "man".

Warmupcooldownrecovery.

5x5 intervals, about 3min rest between. Started on Phils, just past where upper UW comes in, around Tie City, and back on Phils (no Gobi). Finished on top of the little rise after the tight turns almost exactly opposite the start location. Tracks were set, which made the skiing most enjoyable. Pace was quite consistent, but last 3 were maybe 10m shorter than the first two.

Finished Creature from the Pit.

Did strength last as I wasn't going to run with it 5F out.

At the Jack, 2F when I started, 2F when if finished. It was a lot of work pushing the deathly-slow skis around. Saw moose tracks and a small brown squirrel. Plenty of frost on the inside of my jacket when done.
