Jackson Jaunt & Harry Eldridge Race

We took a quick trip to Jackson over the weekend.  We did a classic OD ski on Saturday - it was great to explore some new trails.  Hannah and Emma even ran into Marty Hall, who accused them of doing an OT (over-talking) instead of an OD - classic Marty.

The next day we headed up to the Eagle Mountain House for the Jackson Jaunt, a 5/10k mass start skate race.  There was a good crowd of college skiers, juniors, and masters on hand - a very competitive field for both races, basically a mini-carnival.  Our skiers survived the chaos at the start and acquitted themselves well.  From where I was standing, it looked like a pretty fun race - lots of twists and turns and transitions, and plenty of people to battle with.  I was pretty happy with how everyone skied - it seems like we're a bit ahead of where we usually are at this time of year.  A good start.

Shelby and Tess did a road trip of their own - they headed over to Lake Placid for the Harry Eldridge Memorial skate race.  They both skied solid races, especially considering the challenging circumstances - a 7 hour drive the day before, and no coach to help with fluoro testing or other logisitics.
