Snow Day for a Cross Country Skier

The last 5 weeks I have been very focused in my training, racing and recovery. The races in West were a strong start to the season, and I felt even better about my performances in Bozeman. No spotlight races, but very consistent across distance, sprint, classic and skate which has been a major goal of mine the past few years. We are now up in Silver Star, BC getting ready for this weekends NorAm. All of the non-World Cup skiers from North American are here. It will be a highly competitive race. For the Canadians, the winner of the race earns a spot on the Olympic Team and the Americans are out to beat the Canadians. After a good hard day of intervals in the morning and strength this afternoon, today was a recovery day. Matt, Karl and I went for a long circumnavigation of the mountain.

Today was a warm day at 10F. It is nice to wax inside and Matt is excited to try his new
Nordic Ultratune XC02

It is always a good day when you can hop on the trail right outside the condo.

Silver Star allows you a few trips up the chair.
Normally I prefer to ski up the hill, but today was a recovery day.

We finished our 3 hour ski by skiing down main street.
I really wish I had brought some money to hit up Bugaboos Bakery
