Ski Season

Greetings from Bethel, Maine. I've been skiing on a lot of ice, grass, and rocks recently; so much for nor'easters. For real though, Bethel is near Rumford which is near Black Mountain which is home to a lot of manmade snow from nationals. Tomorrow I'll be racing my first college carnival, which will ideally go better than the eastern cups last weekend. A pair of Salomon Lab skate skis is ready to go, with some new snow forecast to make a fast course. Manmade snow is getting a bit boring, especially the 1.5km gerbil loops we've been skiing on, but next week promises some sort of storm. Maybe I'll finally get to test out my new carbonlites and featherlites here in New England.
