Its full on winter out here in West Yellowstone! Its snowing right now and anywhere between 5 and 9 inches are expected today. The fresh snow made skiing this morning perfect. It was freshly groomed and fast. I had a distance skate today with a few pick ups at the end. I also tested some of my skis and found a few fast pair. Its hard to not want to stay out and ski all day but with the first race coming up on Wednesday I have to be careful to stick to Sten’s training plan.
