2022 Shasta Ascension Race!

 

Spent another fun weekend down in Shasta.  Unlike 2 years ago, Sno-Ball got cancelled... and we haven't had any snow for a while.  So the course was fast, but skiing was mediocre.  Sat, after the race I skied with the boys (demo-ed some skis too) into the sunset.  Sun, we hung out downtown, then went over to Lake Siskiyou to chillax.  

Granted I did this on my tele skis in 2019, I did manage to drop 15 minutes... which is pretty significant in a one hour race.  Pretty stoked!  Goal is to break 55 min...

Next day we hung out by Lake Siskiyou and had this beach to ourselves!  Felt like spring!
