Below Zero At Pattee Canyon

It's been freezing for three days straight, making me second guess my upcoming 'spring break'. This break's all about skiing and eating with my friend Paul from NY. We usually do it in March, but he's trying out this chilly time this year. Right now, it's just 1 degree, and I bet it's 20 below at the Rocky Mountaineers Cabin. So cold!

Last night at Pattee Canyon, I almost broke my ski record. I used ski wax (Swix CH6) recommended by my NY buddy Chris. He said it's for “18 to almost 26 degrees”. With only enough cash for one wax block, I chose what seemed right for the OSCR 50K. Despite the sub-zero temps, the skis were super fast, so much so that I ended up freezing 'the dudes'. Planning to layer up more and do two laps tonight before the weekend's big adventure. Really hope it warms up a bit.

There's also the first meeting/class for the Grizzly Man Adventure Race tonight. I'm thinking of going solo!
