It's RACE SEASON!

The team has settled back into life in Williamstown this week. We've been back in the weight room a bit and have accomplished two great intensity workouts since returning from Quebec. The snow in town and at Prospect is outstanding! It's hard to believe but RACE SEASON IS HERE!!! Vans are departing tomorrow morning for a weekend of racing at Mountain Top in Vermont. Next week we'll sharpen up a bit with some speed training and then we'll head off to our FIRST CARNIVAL in Lake Placid, NY on Thursday. Keep an eye out for results and updates from the road. Here are a few pics from the end of Quebec during our 3-4 hour distance ski....and a few from Prospect this week. GO PURPLE COWS!

A perfect day for a long slow distance ski

Lots of these huts around

The end of the trail heading to the north lodge on the back side of the alpine mountain

Found Coffee and Banana Pound cake about 40k into the ski. YES!
