For Sunday’s workout SSWSC decided to leave the groomers and take advantage of the perfect crust skiing conditions in the bowl of Broken Top mountain. The Broken top crust ski is a Bend Camp classic. We left the house at 6AM this morning and were able to get in a 4 hour OD ski before conditions began to soften. a 4 hour workout never felt so short! Here is a video: Check it
