Superb conditions today. At several points I U-turned for no apparent reason. I don't know what it was, something just came over me.

2" new. Lucky to not get blasted by last night's and this morning's super-winds.

Nice trot out in the Flats. Saw one cowgirl on a horse.

Very windy, not in the least bit cold.

Skied past dusk. Mild. Windy. So fine.

Zumamaiya!!! Halftime show by ZZ Top!!!! So tasty, so fine!

C • Halftime 3

About 30 degrees milder than it was yesterday. It felt fairly tropical!

Fun facts I learned while watching the news tonight (though I suppose it depends on your notion of fun):

1) Wyoming leads the nation in per capita deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. With all that wind, you'd just think...

2) Laramie was the hot spot in Wyoming today at 40F. That hardly ever happens. Probably the meteorologists all over are double checking their figures.


And who says you can't learn anything from the TV.

Chilly. Quite a few skiers out, to judge by the cars in the parking lot.

Finished roughing out all the Day 1 courses for the US Classic Champs. I'll put them aside for now and look at them later. I imagine I'll make some changes once they've had a chance to ferment a little, but it was nice to see I didn't have to work very hard to put together some workable designs--a tribute to the terrain.

Cold and crisp out, but the sun was nice and took the edge off of things. Tracks were freshly groomed for great skiing!

A chilly way to close out the running year. Nothing melting out in Laramie today, and the valley albedo is about as high as it gets. Beautiful views out to the west side of the valley.
