We are settled down in Silver Star, and after a relaxing recovery day today we’re headed into race prep tomorrow.  

I was supposed to ski one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon today.  The problem with that in Silver Star is that all the good trails and places that you want to explore are further away than a one hour ski!  I didn’t get that carried away and was only twenty minutes over in the morning, but I really wanted to ski to the top of the mountain!  I would really love to come here when I have some time to throughly explore and ski all the trails.  It would probably take me a high volume extreme distance week to check out all the interesting places, but I bet it could be done.  Maybe someday...

For now, it’s time to focus on the races and hopefully lay down some good performances.  Two skate races in one weekend will be a new thing for me, and I am curious to see how I feel on the sprint the second day.  

Here’s to this winter wonderland: Silver Star!
