Long ski-o at Royal Gorge. Remember the place from one of the NAOC races before World Cups, I think. Some nice skiing at the beginning, turned more slog at the end just because the snow was so warm and suctiony and slow. But just so awesome to be out skiing and even better, out ski-oing!!! Thanks to Greg and Anna and Carol for combinations of planning/organizing/control setting out + picking up!

Control pick-up slog, but just took it easy. Tried to find a good solution for carrying the stakes with the backpack I had, but really nothing worked. I guess carrying and just poling with one hand is the best solution...
