Nevermind soccer hooligans, Norway has skiing hooligans. XC skiing won't make you ghay, it will make you drunk and disorderly! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...-fans-fighting

Doing 2 hours of Nordic usually leads to me taking an afternoon nap, not getting drunk and fighting random people.

Yeah, I lied earlier. It’s really good there now.

Right? Buncha crazy Norwegians need to lay off the sauce.

Calling McCall ID home for the next while, been scoping the Nordic centers around town. Close, nice and look good. Cheap.

Went through Stanley today, also nice scenic Nordic track outside of town.

I generally ski w a 50bmg for biathlon training.

Bear Basin is off the charts. Heard Ponderosa is incredible too. Phenomenal ski town considering the lakes and summer are the economic drivers.
Is there biathlon in McCall? Where's the range?

Been a rough nordic season here in Whitefish.

The bad winter weather has meant that the lower elevation stuff is constantly in bad shape or...literally just grass/gravel.

The stuff up at the resort is holding snow (and grooming out OK some of the time, but I also crashed on a grooming irregularity on a descent the other day)...

...but honestly, it is just too hilly to be fun at my current fitness level. Like...I can do it, but I have the most fun skating when I can feel the speed I'm generating and that means more rolling or flat terrain. I'm just not interested in a long uphill slogs followed by extended descents (at that point I'd rather just skin the resort and "real" ski down) and I really don't have fun past about the 1 minute mark if I'm going up hills that are too steep for me to generate any glide.

Was really counting on those early season golf course and meadow laps to build up those skate muscles! Has also meant no skiing for my pregnant wife besides one day up in Canada as she's basically restricted herself to green trails with freshly laid classic track and soft snow.

He was kidding about the biathlon part, I assume, since a 50bmg is a 50-caliber Browning machine gun.

WG got a recharge, not gonna make it out but happy to see it.

[buttahflake]

We also got a brief recharge here in VT, so glad I blew off Alpine today. Fast and stable, sugar snow is one of my favorite conditions.
I love Nordic skiing

^^ Quit post holing on the track!

Glad to see you guys still getting some. Forecast to hit near 20C by the weekend here, and last night we didn’t get back to freezing temps overnight.
Last Sunday was the final Jackrabbits session, track was so thin many spots weren’t clean enough for the group learning skate technique, but we made the best of it. Had a fire for roasting hotdogs and marshmallows after, usually the fire is down 3ft in the snow, this year it was on bare earth.

At least there’s some logging up near treeline up the local peak that opened the roads up (no big hauling, just cold-decking for after the melt. Roads are just too soft now) Will be happy to get a few laps in the subalpine meadows on corn over the next couple weeks of spring break with the young-un.
