Lake Placid Road Trip

Matt Voisin, Mass. coach and writer for Faster Skier "working" at the race.


Rebecca Smith fell on the granite rocks at the top of the mountain and cut her legs very nicely.  Greg found a deep mud hole.


3 CSU Juniors on the podium.  Calvin 2nd for the J1/J2 division, Max 3rd.  Julia 3rd.


Entire crew after the race.


Is skiing up a mountain physically challenging?  You know it.  I guess they can fish.


View from the Lake Placid library.  Even study hall was fun on this trip.


Sunday we hiked up Hurricane mountain.

Our second peak of the weekend.  In the background on the right is Whiteface where they skied up on Saturday.

Yeah, those are big muscles.


It ain't a CSU workout without some blood getting spilled.

Littleton in the Sun

We had a smallish group at Littleton today with some off at Lake Placid to climb Whiteface and others off at cross country meets or practice.  I had a little time to get out on the course and catch a little bit of the action.
