Lars and I skied all the trails today at Maplelag. It was intense. I was a bit worried that I would have the endurance since I have done I think one ski over 2 hours this year. It took us about five hours. Wow, the sensations are similar to riding a century. I think we could of knocked off a half hour if we had better wax jobs. Mine was fine for the most part, but I was slipping bad on North Loup and Bullhead. Lars had grip tape on and it was working too good. He waxed a little high up so thing were pretty grabby and his skis were a bit draggy. Wow, what a day though. The temp was a bit warm, making for some stick action now and then but really nice to ski that duration at 30-32 degrees. Looks like back to the cockpit and some serious time of the PB, VK PRO and Bearcat the next few days. It will all be good. I can't believe they canceled school today at Pelican Rapids. No snow until a dusting tonight. Some serious hype out there.
