Feb 5-6, I’ll probably only be starting the 10K Freestyle race on the 5th.

Jan 16-17

12/12 -10K Freestyle

12/13 – Sprint Freestyle

We all made it to Silver Star. So far everything has been going really well. We will be skiing in the morning and it will still be really cold. This year we are staying in condos a little bit closer to the Soverign Lakes Trails. The girls have their own, the coaches have their own, and the boys have their own. We have Rebecca, Maria, Kristina Owen and I staying here right now. Jesse Diggins will be here for the weekend.

Brandan and I arrived last night in West Yellowstone, MT and got in a nice 30 min jog in the new falling snow.  We arrived in Bozeman around 2pm and found 2 feet of newly fallen snow. The roads were actually in really good shape and the drive was very uneventful, which is a good thing. Once in Bozeman we picked up Dave Chamberlin and finished getting the last of the supplies needed for our two plus weeks in West Yellowstone. We then joined Brandy Stewart for a quick bite to eat at the Burrito shop before the final hour and a half down to West!

Today I skied in fresh powder, mild temperatures and sunshine. Heaven!
