Conditions in West Yellowstone,
Montana 11.21.2008
A big question on many skiers minds is what are the snow conditions
in West Yellowstone, MT. There is a little bit of everything
here right now. I would like to say that this photo of Kuzzy
was severely photoshoped but it wasn't. There are some sections
of the Rendezvous trails that have snow and we did a specific
strength workout on them yesterday. The plateau is a different
story... |
The
Real Stuff 11.16.2008
Driving
into West Yellowstone, MT there isn't very much snow to be
seen. Standing at the Rendezvous Trail head there is still
more brown than white. When you get into the woods, everything
changes. The trails were rolled back when there was more snow
and that has done an excellent job preserving the track. We
arrived to town at 4pm on Saturday, just in time for a quick
evening ski. It is great to be back on real skis and skiing
real snow. I am one very happy skier. The trails could certainly
use some more coverage and the forecast doesn't look promising.
Still, for now it is sunny and beautiful. |

Getting
Ready for the Big Trip 11.15.2008
The
good news this week is that I am excited to hit the road
and begin the race season, but the bad news is that Wednesday
was my last day at the club for the next two months. I brought
in my bags and had the kids guess what a ski racer takes
on the road for a 2 month trip. It is fun to bring skis,
boots and other gear to show and tell. |
The Castle OD
11.9.2008
Sunday's
are over distance training days. This means that they are
typically the longest workouts of the week which is usually
a good ingredient for an adventure. Today's roller ski was
scheduled as a 4 hour classic ski. |
Active Edge and CXC
Get Your Nordic On Fitness Session 11.1.2008
Many
of the clinics I have done in the past few years have been
technique focused. This moring we did things a bit differently
and focused on a number of different exercises to be done
to improve fitness. We had a great showing of locals who
ran, jumped, bounded, crunched and more. |
