The recent storm did not suck.  Although the danger's a little high for most of our liking there are still plenty of places to find decent lower angle skiing.  A few pics from Today...

Who says you can't free ride in all carbon Pierre Gignoux boots?

Saturday wasn't too bad either.  We all wanted to hit a few powder laps up Millcreek but Teague's persistent and made a strong argument for White Pine.  He's not right often but Saturday he delivered. The crust made the skiing mediocre but a little scramble in ski boots is better than powder skiing anyway right?

Tuesday was Citizens Series Race #4.  Tom Goth was feeling a little under the weather so after setting the course he stuck around and snapped a few picture.  Here are my favorites.  The next race is Jan 21st at 2:00.  This will be at Solitude NOT Brighton and will be featured as part of the Outdoor Retailer Demo Days.  This is a great way opportunity for the "industry people" to get a glimpse at what Randonee racing is all about.  If you're around and have the afternoon off COME!

There was also a weekend full of racing in Grand Targhee and Jackson.  Someone had the horrible idea of packing 3 races in 2 days.  Apart from the -8 with 40 mph on ridge tops the racing was top notch.  Jon Gaston once again showed his dominance winning all three races.  Tom Goth and I ending up with a couple 2nd's and 3rd's.  Even though it wasn't quite the result I wanted I feel like I raced well.  Next time...
