Running Gates

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

_ Well, my dad talked me into trying NASTAR[1] this season.
I finally managed to get one of the few places in CA that
runs it and it was actually kind of fun. It had been 30 years
since I'd run any gates and frankly there was a reason I
decided to concentrate on XC racing when I was 15. I chose
to use tele gear so I'd have an excuse for being bad....

_ If you're stuck someplace with boring terrain or poor
snow conditions, I suggest trying it. It's definitely a
different challenge from trying to ski stuff as steep
as you dare. For me the big difference was trying to
turn as little as possible and I never really figured
out how to power out of the turn like you can on alpine
gear.
