The "Skiers-Over-50" met for their weekly training session this afternoon. It was pretty chilly according to the media, however, dressed appropriately and moving steadily, we were all comfortable. We did modify the session somewhat, focusing on drills, and stayed closer to the parking than we normally would have. We avoided distance and hills, as the downhills would have been downright frigid. After about 75 minutes, the lure of coffee in town encouraged us to finish earlier than usual. All in all, considering the weather, it was a good ski, however I must add that the grooming is getting tiresome, or rather the lack of it. Concrete and ice may suit younger, more elite skiers who can balance on one ski while they coast downhills and switch skis with their training partners. My age group would really appreciate more than one grooming a week, in fact we plan our outings according to the NCC site before we leave home. Or at least we used to do this in the olden days (before 2007). Now we have to try to interpret the words "recommended", which could mean, either "you can probably see where the classic tracks are and you may even ski on them" or "you will have a lovely time on this trail". It seems to be more frequently the former. I'm looking forward to fresh snow tomorrow!
