Sunday was the last day of our competitive season and Mother Nature gave us quite a send off.  We were treated to several inches of fresh powder which made for some good exploration!  Liz and the rest of the Bolton crew were cooking up waffles which we smothered in Vermont Maple Syrup before heading out to ski.  Caitlin and Johanna couldn’t get enough of the groomed trails while the rest of us went off exploring the high country.   I followed the tracks of several catamounts that worked their way up the to the Heavenly Highway and then dropped down one of the alpine runs at Bolton.

This week we start the off-season which means strength training and somewhat less frequent vans for skiing.  The weather looks like it should cooperate for at least a few more good skis in the coming weeks.

Saturday morning we woke up to a perfectly groomed course with clear blue skies and nothing but sun in the forecast.  It was an awesome way to close out the 2009 NCAA Championships.  We started off the day with a slim lead over Denver, New Mexico, and Colorado and while we didn’t end the day at the top we didn’t go quietly either.
