We just got back from 3 days of fantastic skiing at Mount Bachelor. Magnus and Uhuru raced the Junior National Qualifiers, turning in impressive races on the hilly courses at 6300ft elevation. Salma, Tess, Jib, Apollo and Nils also made the trip and enjoyed the skiing. Jib gets the most improved award- she was flying (and smiling) down the big hills by the end.
Did we mention the snow was great, and it was warm and SUNNY!? Jealous? That's what I'm going for- next time we make a trip like that you won't want to miss it!
And we have SNOW in the forecast for Tuesday evening. A few inches could really help things out at Cabin Creek.
WEDNESDAY SKATING at cabin creek. Meet at EHS at 3:20 to carpool. Return 640.
SUNDAY 10AM-NOON Cabin Creek. Classic.
Upcoming events and changes (get out that Family Calendar and mark it up!)
February 8th (Saturday) Jente Loppet. 2.5k race for all 18 and under boys and girls. 5k and 10k females only. Information at http://www.snoqualmienordic.org/jente-loppet---2014
Presidents day weekend: The Junior National Qualifier has been moved from Cabin Creek to Spokane. We'll probably have some folks heading over Fri-Sun and also Sat (after all state music) evening to ski Sunday. Depending on snow it might be worth staying to ski Monday. More later.
Feb 22nd Hog Loppet- not a race, but a grand tour from the top of Mission Ridge to Blewett Pass (about 30k, but a net downhill- but not all downhill). The event is $55, but the price goes up to $75 on Friday. The Hashimoto's will probably do it. Check it out at http://www.skileavenworth.com/events/hog-loppet
Feb 28th-March1st Ski Weekend. I had rented a place in Winthrop, but got worried because of the lack of snow there. I am working on an alternate location where we can walk out the door to ski (perhaps White Pass).
