Looks like winter

Campus was covered in snow this morning with more throughout the day.  We probably even could have been skiing at Higley but we had already committed to continue grooming at Star Lake.   Certainly more snow and better conditions at Star Lake anyway so worth the extra van time.  Skate intervals went well, Nera was enjoying the snow as well.  It looks like we are going to have some options going into the weekend.  We are currently planning to go do the NYSEF opener at Lake Placid on Sunday and it also looks like Gatineu in Ottawa is getting quite a bit of snow today and so skiing should be excellend there by Friday so we may want to check it out.  Going into exam week for some means lots of extra work so having the time for travel can be tough.  Exam week though also offers some quite a bit of extra time for training, it varies a lot from student to student.

groom it up

I spent the morning grooming at star lake prior to the teams workout.  Typically Bob Washo handles this for us but with the short notice he was not available.  I kind of enjoy doing this from time to time anyway.  Unfortunately it sounds like a snowmobiler came through just after I finished and destroyed some of the work.  Not much we can do about that so I try not to get to frustrated by it.  I had to leave early but Knut thought the team got in a great workout anyway.
