Skiing on Campus

Finally, we have groomed trails on campus! It's been a long road getting our snowmobile up and running, but we're there. Ezra groomed a 2k loop around the athletic fields on Tuesday, and it's set up pretty nicely. It's flat as a pancake and the snow's a bit crunchy, but it's decent skiing practically out the front door, and that's pretty sweet. We're still doing almost all of our training at Pineland, but these trails are a great resource for us. People who can't make it to practice on any given day can still get in some quality training with just a short walk from the dorms, and there's enough lighting around the fields so that even people with late labs can ski after sunset. We've got the bases covered now - there are no more obstacles to good training. Now we just have to execute the plan and we should see some great results in February.
