Skate Ski warm up/down 3:44 [2] 0.46 km (8:10 / km) +16m 6:57 / km
Out to warm up, except it was 5F and quickly got chilled. So back for another layer and ready to race.
Skate Ski race (Windblown ski-o) 1:01:00 [4] 8.31 km (7:21 / km) +146m 6:45 / km
Good courses set up by Aims. Trail cover enough to keep from dragging bottoms; certainly another 6" would be fine. Used Start Green and got excellent glide.
Did a longer course first, and then came back for a 2 loop sprint map. Ali cleaned up, and Jim, Alar and I were behind. Hard handling the punch paper in the wind and extra thick gloves.

Note
Another couple inches. Bombi groomed entire network. Fields in prime condition for race skis. Need more cover in woods due to water bars and bumps, will use rock skis there. Groomed new trail cut and that should be fun.
For those out West still on roller skis, there's good snow all over VT. Ski-O tomorrow and Monday.

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley) 2:00:00 21.18 km (5:40 / km) +143m 5:29 / km
Around the Fields on the Peltonens, then switched to Fischers because the blue wax was dragging. Had purple on the second set and they ran better. Snow in excellent shape.
Then a tour of the forest trails at much slower pace. Entire network skiable, but rough in places. Dirt was scuffed up when groomer went over waterbars, so glad I was on rock skis. Will have to replace waterbars with culverts if I intend to ski on thin conditions
Finally regroomed with the snowmobile just to dress things up.

Skate Ski (Kingdom Valley) 1:38:23 [3] 15.77 km (6:14 / km) +23m 6:11 / km
6" real snow today! Groomed the fields for skating. Snow fresh and a little slow. Skiing 1.2 km/lap much more satisfying than a tenth of that.

2 PM
Skate Ski (Grafton Ponds) 1:20:00 [0] 15.0 km (5:20 / km) +360m 4:46 / km
To Grafton mid-afternoon for a quick ski. Unfortunately, the 1.5 km man-made loop was tied up with high school racing. Got in some laps between races.
Moved the NIS bindings back about 1" and were much better climbing the hill in sugar snow.

Skate Ski (Front yard) 22:08 [2] 3.17 km (6:59 / km) +1m 6:58 / km
A few laps around the man made loop. Snow was quite good and skiworthy. Will keep extending; next around the vineyard to add another 50m.
