early bird...

STILL SMILING!

well, we learned, or re-learned the old lesson of the early bird and all the fruits he gets by being so early. we got off to a late start this morning and ran into traffic on hwy 20....then on hwy 80, then on hwy 89. we finally aborted going to tahoe city xc and turned around and went back to truckee for "brunch" and split board education from Jason at the backcountry ski shop. He got us up to speed..... after all that we went back up hwy 80 to Royal Gorge and headed out to ski. The snow sucked. there was no glide to be had, the snow was in the sun too much and the suction under the skis was more like velcor...no fun. so, we chalked it up to being late!
Now I have to go wax the skis for tomorrows "GREAT RACE". If we have the legs after the 30km epic we are headed to North Star for 1/2 day of groomers!
I am pretty excited about "ALPINE" skiing and hollie is pumped about busting out the "board" hopefully we have as much fun as I am imagining!
