skate ski 1:30:06 [3] 21.91 km (4:07 / km) +408m 3:46 / km
shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs

at ASC. We only got 6" yesterday, and it rained all day Wednesday, so no real improvement in the trail conditions.

skate ski 59:23 [3] 15.25 km (3:54 / km) +235m 3:37 / km
shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs

At ASC. They groomed and tilled last night, which made the trails pretty fantastic. No ice anywhere, and they even had classic tracks around almost everything. I think they're just betting all-or-nothing on this week's storm - its supposed to be a couple feet, but if it fizzles they're now gonna be out of snow by the weekend.

Ski with Jonis at ASC. Not any better than yesterday, but all the teams were up there practicing so lots more people to run into at the bottom of the icy hills.

Up at ASC. This was mostly all ice, though a couple of the uphills were still snowy enough to ski them hard.

shoes: 11 fischer rcr skio (110)

T-shirt ski. If you convince yourself that its sometime around the middle of june, the conditions are actually pretty good. Did a lap up top, then down to the valley for some sweet crust skiing along the creek. Actually half of it was directly in the creek, but it was rock solid and snowed over, so it was had a better surface than the trails. Also it involved dropping some sweet air down the front of a few beaver dams. Then I tried to head up the mountain a bit, but that was patchy and involved running over a lot of bushes.

Snow cover for the sierras, this January vs last (which wasn't even a great year in itself). Yay mid-winter fire season.

Actually waxed the skis for the first time in a while, then went up to check out the upper trail at TD, which is in pretty good shape. Skis were feeling good, so I went down and did the valley, and then a few bonus intervals on the road back up.

shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs

Easy ski at ASC. Snow was good, if a little sticky. Shoulder felt ok going through all the motions as long as I didn't go really hard. Should be all better in a couple days.

skate ski 1:00:44 [3] 13.18 km (4:36 / km) +157m 4:21 / km
shoes: 11 fischer rcr skio (110)

We got enough slush on saturday to improve things a little, still solid and icy, but there's enough ice now for them to chew it up with the groomer so it wasn't too bad.

hiking 2:00:00 [3] 6.0 mi (20:00 / mi)

Hiking Castle Peak with Carol and Lori and SGB and Presto. Not too much snow on this side, but enough for snowshoes on and off the top half. Sunny and clear, but it got super windy on the way down. pics.

run 57:18 [3] 4.37 mi (13:06 / mi) +179m 11:37 / mi

Snowy sloppy run with Carol and Lori and SGB. Same place as yesterday, but there was half an inch of slush on top of everything, so you couldn't really see where the ice was. I slipped once early on, and didn't land hard, but while flailing around on the way down I popped my shoulder out and back in before I hit the ground. It didn't hurt too bad at the time, but has been getting worse all day.

Note

Andrew brought up the new headlight tonight. Compared to the old one, the new one looks significantly more intimidatingly awesome, and yes has 7 super-cree leds. Its quite a bit heavier and more solid (I assume for heat dissipation), but I think it'll still be runnable attached to my head (though I have a big head). Certainly ok skiing or on the front of the bike. Here's a comparison shot of them both shining in the backyard.

The trail in the valley was actually pretty good. Getting there could use some love though. Saw Bill in the parking lot, we had the whole place to ourselves.

skate ski race 28:38 [4] 9.13 km (3:08 / km) +118m 2:57 / km
shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs

10k skate race at ASC. Good stuff. Trails were good, they farmed snow from everywhere and only a little section was sortof icy. It was supposed to only get down to 28 last night, but we woke up and it was 8, so new wax and it was super sexy fast. Nice and warm by race time, but the snow was cold and slick. Felt mostly good, had a couple hacky coughing fits after the climb at the beginning of the lap, but nothing too bad.

Easy ski around TD. Feel a bit better today. Its pretty sad out there though, there are some nice sections and its still skiable to get everywhere, but its getting thin enough that in a couple days half of it will probably be dirt.

Easy ski around TD. A little sick for the last couple days, haven't been sleeping great. Warm and sunny out though.
