Second Mt Ashland SkiMo Summit


Had another eventful SkiMo Summit. The first year, we didn't have much snow (after Dec, the snow shut off until a few days after the SkiMo Summit).  This year, we had decent coverage, but insane winds.  In fact, Aerial Chair never opened and some of our helpers had a tough time getting up to the top to mark down times. But despite these conditions, the athletes rocked it. We didn't have to do a modified course and this time it took the full course winner (Max King) over 90 min.  I'd like to get it up to 100 min eventually.

Shasta Ascension Race - my 2nd, or maybe 3rd?

 Got 8th O/A, 5th in my age group.  

Kai got 3rd in Juniors... and Nikko was really leading the race, but then took a wrong turn.  I found him crying on the boot pack.  Poor buddy.  He eventually made it down, but was quite sad the rest of the day.

  • We went down with the Willumsens and McGradys.  Stayed at the LOGE. 
  •  The Sno-Ball was awesome!
Mikey, Casey, Adam and I did McLoughlin the day before, which was pretty awesome.
