Sorry about the confusion, everyone! I guess we were sending out mixed messages, and when we finally got there, it seemed easiest to just call it a classic night, no relay.
The parking lot was a little emptier, the sign-up sheet a little shorter, the people on the trail a little fewer. Don't give up yet, skiers! It was 48 freakin' degrees and sunny at the pass yesterday and the friendly little creeks running alongside the road are graduating into full riverhood, but there is plenty of good snow cover. The temps were still near 40 when racing started; with no moon, the sky was very dark and the stars were very bright. The course was nicely groomed, and the snow itself was a little soft, but still pretty fast, kind of like a former college football player. It's still a fresh and fun way to spend a Wednesday evening, so come on up before it's gone!
Next week: skating. Good luck to everyone heading for the Bavarian Cup, the Teacup, and the Marcialonga!
