Most people rested today while most of the men's team went out to take advantage of the fantastic conditions at Wildcat. We worked on some basic GS skiing drills and maybe a couple of tuck runs to get us ready for this weekend's races at the legendary Cranmore. (The founder of Cranmore Hans Schneider is known for his part in making skiing popular through the famed wedge christie and is often referred to as the Father of Modern Alpine Skiing). There were also more than a few opportunities for popping air on some of the rollers left over from snowmaking. Mike Cohen was the star for today finally letting the concept of a parallel inside ski "click." The highlight for the relatively cold day was a rainbow like circle around the sun called a parhelion. There was also another rainbow like figure that was upside down to the ground, though did not make a complete circle. Unfortunately, no one had a camera, though other pictures online do not appear to pay the phenomenon justice.
Also, make sure that you check out Meagh and Sophie who made this week's Wildcat Update on the Wildcat Website. Congratulations!
