Wasteful efforts and too much venting on the morning commute made for an angry pace I think. I thought I was doing well until the lights faded into the snowflakes. Rockstan’s redlight was slowly covered by the night, eo was feeling the hurt but peeling away. Teo, laying down the anti-wawa pace was way ahead following wes, the first to start. ^&%$^&$ Krissy stayed with me a while but longed to be the racer. The pow jones was powerful. A few tracks to reveal the jonesin' were there from the day, but some places were left alone. Good places. The tube was filled. The measuring log is approaching contact with the snow. Good signs. We schralped long untracked lines through brooks and streams long covered by the creeping snowpack. Ducking is in. I found my longest line of the year in the lower glades. The woods were silent (my ipod quit yesterday). Snow was falling hard, but began nuking as we finished. At least an inch collected on teo’s head by my reckoning before the snow partee finished. My eyes are tired from the drive home. It was like being stuck between real time and hyper space. Under our headlamps, the snow looked like this (turn sideways) ===========. The snow is falling hard. Tomorrow will be epic. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
