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!!
