The entirety of the traveling FAST elite team made it into Yellowstone today… From that point on, out activities went like this, and in this order:
Check into hotel. Attempt to convince clerk that we do indeed have a reservation. Wrestle ski bags up stairs onto top floor of hotel. Attempt to convince clerk that we indeed have already purchased meal tickets. Change into ski gear. Throw on some Toko Violet. Go for amazing classic ski on Rendezvous trails. Be blown away at how fast the snow feels. Score some Cliff bar samples in the warming hut. Attempt to convince clerk that we indeed have already purchased meal tickets. Shower. Finally convince clerk that we indeed have already purchased meal tickets. Use those recieved tickets to actually eat dinner. Attempt to go to bed early.
For the remainder of the Yellowstone Ski Festival, we present to you THE STONE; a daily sample of the shenanigans that is happening here in this sleepy little Montana town. So check back here on the FAST blog for each edition. Rumor has it that there might even be some alternate authors besides myself; Werner is threatening to compose somthing, and the elusive David Norris might even make an appearance.

Whoah! Is this.... glide?
And we thought we were the last ones on the trails... excessively fanatical?

It’s beautiful back here in Fairbanks too. You guys left, and it’s forty degrees warmer! Spandex skiing time.
