US Ski-O Long Champs
At Craftsbury. Long and brutal. Snow conditions were good on the main trails, the snowmobiled ones mostly had enough snow, some were just dirty. The course had a couple good long legs with big route choice, and the map had some good features to play around with (lakes, hills, swamps). Fun all around. Started near the front for blue guys, caught up to the two ahead of me early in the first loop, then held off Scott Pleban (started 4 mins back) for the middle part. He had a good route choice on the last long leg and caught me three controls from the end, but then blew it going into the control and I got back ahead of him. Managed to hold him off until the finish, but he sill won by 3 mins. Then me, then Nikolay a minute back.

Ski-O Champs Middle Blue
Had a very good race, really clean on the navigation, and felt good skiing for most of it. Made one bad route choice mistake that might have cost me 30s, and another for 10s, but the rest was just small hesitations here and there. The course was fun and technical, lots of quick decisions and some fast downhills thrown in for fun. Finished 2nd, 30s behind Adrian, and 30s ahead of Nikolay.

VT ski-o day 1: Morse Farm
Pretty frustrating race because the map was super dodgy: most of the trails weren't quite right, the junctions weren't lined up right, and the obvious features that would have helped figure those out (ie buildings) weren't on the map. At least there was only 1/2 inch of snow so for once I didn't have to worry about sinking too far in. And I managed to get the hr up to 170, maybe from all the bonus oxygen down here?

ahr:138 max:156 shoes: 09 rossi max 180s

Long and awesome ski around TD. Gave the busted Madsnusses back to the shop to mail in, so I got out the cheapo Rossi 180s I got on super sale last summer. They obviously have no flex but the bottoms are sexy smooth. A couple inches of new snow last night, plus early grooming, plus baking in the crystal clear blue sky all morning, meant the trails were solid and greasy fast. Did a long flat tour around the valley, then decided it was too good to go in yet, but didn't want to repeat on another lap since that makes less cool gps tracks, so I went up and across the front of the mt and out windy ridge, which was fortunately not too windy today.

Flying out to VT tonight for more awesome ski-o.
