Date Skied Monday Jan 23rd
Weather: light snow Temps in the low 30's
Conditions: 4+ inches of fresh very soft fresh powder on top of very firm frozen granular.
We all arrived at different times, but grabbed as many runs as possible in the fresh snow. Many of the local schools were closed for the day so FIS Race Trail and Twister were open for free runs. That was a nice treat. Fis was soft and not bumped up around 5ish. Twister brought the same feel.
FIS got shut down for grooming for our race, so we made laps on twister. Scott took advantage of the free runs and took out his tele gear/ He had a couple of interesting athletic moves that impressed us all.
Ga 2 ski and Tree_skier tend to leave the rest of us in the dust. Well last night was no different.
Roark Charlie myself and Chile all seemed to be having a blast as well.
We all waited to get registered until about 6.30 ish. We all ran kind of in the same time frame. We waited at the Top of FIS to register, but they decided to do it at the race start. The fun began. Skier cross.
About 70 people taking off for a good spot in line at the same time on a icy and bumped up run. You had to be there. Just insane. We all laughed there were some collisions, crashes and many near misses and plenty of stories for the rest of the night.
ow ya there was a race. The yellow course was the harder of the two and the scores on the yellow were valued more than those one the green. Under the fresh show it was Frozen granular... well we will call it that. Wild ruts and hard ice.
Same as it ever was, but props Tree-Skier finished 6th overall. :beer: Ga2ski finished 29th I believe, but with his tele handicap he brought the 2nd most points to the team. :beer: I was 14th and brought in the next points. Scott was right behind me and Chile and Roark and Charlie all finsied to give us counted points and runs.
Point of note. Chile know has a helmet. Roark after a multi crash run showed class and got up and finished to get a counted run. Well done. not to mention his bride joined us and helped to make the group more enjoyable. Charlie went single is his race cause 7 is not evenly divided by two. My turn next week. Charlie still seemed to have the most laughs with his patented laugh and smile.
Apres ski was again a highlight. Chile, roark/bride and Tree-skier were holding down space at the bar when myself Charlie and Scott and Ga2ski came in.
ow back to the race. We finished 4th as a team and are in 5th place at this point for Monday's. Alot of time left but we are on the bubble as far as the playoffs, but we are competitive. Come out and watch us. What can be more fun on a Monday than skiing.
Easy... you know what I mean. :wink:
