Our arrival at the Craftsbury Outdoor Century was that of sheer exuberance. The vans rolled down the farm roads and into the Craftsbury parking lot around 8:30pm Tuesday. Everyone was excited to begin our training camp despite there being no snow on the ground. The workers at Craftsbury lived up to their reputations, and we were greeted with a 1.5k of manmade snow - anything is better than roller skiing at this point.
Wednesday morning, we awoke to the groomers hitting the trail, providing us with some firm tracks. Given that it was klister skiing, it seemed only fitting that I cover my hands and clothes with it, as well as the team's skis. Mmmmm I missed the feeling of a klister covered hand inside a ski glove. With that being said, our klister kick was pretty phenomenal for our morning 2 hour ski.

It started snowing pretty hard during our afternoon skate ski on Wednesday.

Will, Ben, and Luke enjoying the fresh snow this morning - we got about 8 inches of snow overnight, so in addition to the 1.5k loop of manmade snow, Craftsbury was also able to roll out another 20k of decent skiing.

Everyone enjoyed an amazing Thanksgiving dinner in the brand new lodge tonight. The food was delicious, the athletes were happy, and bellies were full! Can't wait to hit the trails again tomorrow!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Perry
