Placid

We left Brunswick and 10 inches of fresh snow for the long drive to Lake Placid. It's nice and cold here, but they didn't get much snow from Monday's storm, so the skiing is a bit limited. Barring a major storm tonight (there are a couple inches forecast), we'll be racing on a 3.3k loop near the biathlon range. Coverage is thin, and the snow's a bit dirty, but it's actually pretty good skiing - nice and fast. The course isn't too hilly, but I have a feeling that the climbs will seem a bit bigger by the 5th and 6th laps of Saturday's classic race. There are 90+ skiers in both races - lots of people to fit on a 3.3k loop. Should be spectator friendly, though, and our skiers will have lots of people to ski with. As always, it'll be fun.
