Fun with CXC

Ski camp is all about having a good time.  Here are a few photos from the past week. . .

Bill Pierce carving one of our four turkeys (no leftovers!)

CXC crew taking over the warming hut pre-race. Chuck can't help showing off his guns any chance he gets.

Jessie, what is going on?

The Golden Arches.

The wolves can be heard howling every night, just blocks from our hotel.

Rob from Salt Lake takes his dogs for a ski. Or is it the other way around?

This photo really captures the essence of the Yellowstone Ski Festival, getting out and having fun on snow.  The town doesn’t salt or sand the roads, so you can ski or snowmobile practically anywhere in town.  If you’re into trying out skijoring, a friend of mine, John Thompson from St. Paul, wrote a great book called Ski Spot Run. You can find the book, along with all your skijoring gear, at New Moon Ski & Bike in Hayward, WI.

John Hugus entertaining us with one of his many tales.

The junior team, at odds even before their 18 hour drive.

It’s not going to be the same without the junior and masters team next week.

We did a little racing here too (photo: swix sport)

A brief follow-up to my previous post:  Someone from the Festival must’ve read about the need for podium girls on the SuperTour, because Kelli from Freeheel and Wheel was on hand with kisses for all the podium finishers.  Wow.
