First race of the season
For those of you who wonder what ski races are like I offer the following pictures and just a few words about yesterday---blistering cold and windy. D came in 2nd, the friend pictured skiing below came in 3rd. Both teams (boys and girls) came in first! A good start to winter!

 Spectators!



 A bleak scene looking up the hill. The dark line across the trail is composed of the skiers waiting for the start.
 



Looking down the hill--coach checking running order. Notice the snow blowing up the hill. As I said, blistering.





Skier coming into and at the finish.







A fun day!!

Great photos, though I can't imagine being a spectator at this sort of COLD event. Reminds me of the Iditarod...Brrr.....

Congrats to the winners.

You need a photo of yourself in the sidebar. ::grin::
