Winter!

This fall has gone by so fast, it's hard to believe that it's already winter and there is snow on the ground. The days of getting lost in the gym (and everywhere else) are behind us (somewhat) as are one whole semester of classes!

Even more surprising was how amazing Prospect was this week!

The transformation this week was pretty incredible. This is the lodge from our running/bounding workout two weeks ago:

This is the lodge on Thursday:

The timing shack looking good with tons of snow around it!

Skiing! The conditions were great, especially after a couple more inches on Wednesday night and another round of grooming.

The race loop looking spectacular. In other news, the A climb is still huge, and Nick Gardner still declared the course double-pole-able. No word yet on what Braden Becker plans on doing; according to unsubstantiated rumors he was spotted running the course on snowshoes with poles.

 Williamstown got some snow too, and some of the hardworking students took a well earned break to build a fort out in front of Paresky.

I'm currently sitting in the Albany airport, waiting for my flight. I've only been here for five hours, and I don't have long to go! Excited to be home in Colorado for a couple of days (although I'll miss the snow), and even more excited to be back East for camp in Quebec next week!
