Team Training: Eldora Randonee

Vanessa, Greg, and Ryan headed up to Eldora on Saturday for a little ski mountaineering training in preparation for Xterra Winter Worlds (and just for fun). Suprise! It was actually snowing with no wind...crazy! The only catch, it was about 31.95°F, and the snow was heavier than usual in Colorado. Made me feel like I was back in California. By the end, we had clumps of snow sticking to the bottoms of our climbing skins. Perhaps it's time to try waxing the skins for better glide and to avoid the snow clumps? We also practiced taking the skins off and putting them on quickly. Ogden here we come!
