Thanksgiving Camp

We've been up in Stoneham and training at Foret Montmorency for a few days now. Currently we're relegated to the same 1.8k loop as last year, which as far as little loops go is pretty sweet and?varied. The weather has been cold upon arrival, changing to mid-40s by noon, with bluebird skies and solid tracks. Essentially, we're doing laps in midwinter conditions in the morning session and spring skiing in the afternoon. Since the other college teams (Colby, Bowdoin, etc) aren't arriving until tomorrow, we've essentially had the place to ourselves for the entire time with the exception of a few locals and XC Ottowa members. 

We're gonna ramp it up and get some intervals in tomorrow before the loop gets too packed. Rumor has it they'll be spreading out some extra piles of snow on the lower section to add a few hundred meters...can you say 2+ kilometers baby!?

Here's a few photos:
