Hello from Craftsbury! If you have a strong desire to remember what mid-November feels like, come up to northern Vermont – it’s been a little chilly here lately. : ) The weather hasn’t slowed this group down though and REG has been going really well. This morning we had the uphill run test up Mt. Elmore and SMS was well represented with some awesome results, led by alum/future Middlebury freshman Issy Pelletier who was the top junior girl. Pictures from the run were taken at the very end on a steep pitch with about 100m to go – a few people definitely had their pain face going on. Full results on FasterSkier (click here). More photos on the SMS Nordic Facebook page (click here).
