Putting together potato fields, a winter with over 200 inches of snow, sunshine, 20 degree nights and 60 degree days,  there is liable to be some good spring skiing.  I had heard about the famous Aroostook County crust cruising, but this spring was the first time that I was able to experience it.   Below are a few pictures from our latest adventure.

 The spring time has been good to us up here, the fifteen foot pile of snow in my front yard has shrunk down to a pile of dirt and twigs, the weather has been good and I have been riding my bike around, running too.  BethAnn and I were even able to take a trip to Chicago to see my old college roommate get married, bravo Christian and Jane!

The pictures below are from a couple of Saturdays ago.  We were a diehard group, including Brent Jepson, Bob Sprague, Carl Soderberg, Ben Paradis, Jeff and Sheri Dubis.  The skiing really was excellent, miles and miles of potato fields allowed us to do a two hour loop without retracing steps.  

Will and I were also able to get into the UMPI testing lab to get a baseline down for the training year to come.  The woman in the foreground of the picture below is Dr. Sue Beaudet, our physiology guru.
