Except my forehead, but there may be time for that later. I do know that I skied way too long and didn’t mean to. That doesn’t happen too often, I am quite fastidious about doing the exact workout that I
The final weekend of the European "OPA" Cup tour brought us to Rogla, Slovenia. We were greeted by a massive blizzard and strong winds in the first several days so we spent got to spend spend some time trudging through the snow. Here's the Spanish team coaches shoveling a path to get to the door of their wax trailer. We stayed in cabins near a mall-like hotel that had everything from polka
Clear cold nights, warm sunny days, endless potato fields, Northern Maine...what do you get? Amazing crust skiing!!! This morning was one of those perfect crust skiing days. While the temperature was cool at the start of the ski, the radiating sun q...
Kikkan Randall kept on rolling, turning in a career-best 14th place distance performance in Falun, Sweden. Randall was in the main pack for the entire 10km pursuit, and in position to finish significantly higher. She has been posting excellent result after excellent result since the beginning of the Olympics, and is now 16 overall in the World Cup Final standings. It seemed like it was pretty warm over there today, how did the snow hold...
div divdivdivdivdivLike Nate I've been pretty lazy since the Birkie. In the past couple of years I've had additional races after the Birkie and we've had good snow sometimes into April. This year, unless one was willing to travel, the ski season ended abruptly since the heat wave that began on Birkie Saturday rapidly consumed all the greaa href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UjbPla5DI/AAAAAAAAAAs/wWZLEQlneho/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+005.jpg"img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450801874948777010" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UjbPla5DI/AAAAAAAAAAs/wWZLEQlneho/s320/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+005.jpg" border="0" //at snow we got this winter./divbr /divNevertheless, I still strapped on the skis for one last weekend on snow. On Friday the 12th Angie and Dave talked me into driving to Elm Creek. It was raining and probably in the high 30s or low 40s and as I put my boots on I was thinking about how pathetically desparate we must be to drive 35 minutes to ski in these conditions. But the track was surprisingly decent. I had wanted to practice warm weather kick waxing so I put some universal klister on and WOW! It felt like roller skiing - great kick with almost no push of the foot while still delivering great glide. Now I know what everyone means when they talk about how nice klister skiing can be. Not sure if I'll ever have a chance to use it in a race but it was pretty nice that day - a great way to finish up classic skiing for the year. /divbr /divOn Sunday I returned with Jeff and Claire and we had a blast playing ski tag and just skiing around. This time it was sunny and highs got up into the 60s. The snow really was still pretty good so I'm glad we got out for one last ski./divdiva href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UgbeG4DTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/6CoB2e-Jx0M/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+012.jpg"/aa href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UkCgPWEsI/AAAAAAAAAA0/t6nASvoF3Qw/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+022.jpg"img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450802549434487490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 282px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UkCgPWEsI/AAAAAAAAAA0/t6nASvoF3Qw/s320/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+022.jpg" border="0" //a/diva href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UijP6pUAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/GCc8f95mwYQ/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+020.jpg"img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450800912965128194" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 133px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UijP6pUAI/AAAAAAAAAAk/GCc8f95mwYQ/s200/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+020.jpg" border="0" //abr /br /diva href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UgbeG4DTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/6CoB2e-Jx0M/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+012.jpg"/a /divbr /div/divbr /br /br /diva href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aqG2j4_GXQA/S6UgbeG4DTI/AAAAAAAAAAU/6CoB2e-Jx0M/s1600-h/Spring+skiing+at+EC+3-09+012.jpg"/a /div/div/div/div/div/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572647974447867713-6160437548013174537?l=vakavaraceteam.blogspot.com' alt='' //div
