snow
We are getting blasted here on the east coast.
Trails that I have never seen open at Tuxedo are. But willing to bet that this snow storm kills the races at Belleayre this weekend. Rumor has it we are due another storm friday night. It will be a wax for new snow edges not ice sharp. The course is going to rut up like the cross bronx expressway after a snow storm. |

Get out of the gates and into the soft. Use your trainer GS skis. What is criteria for trainer skis label? Serious racers have two identical pair each of GS and SL, one pair for training, one for race day. Trainer pair gets broken down and softened faster, so last year's GS trainer pair becomes an easy turning soft pair of skis good for powder days and year before's training pair is a good junker/rock ski. Race day's skis usually get little use and can sometimes be sold for real money. If you look through swaps, recycles, garage sales, etc in the right neighborhoods you'll see felt pen notes or stickers identifying race/train pairs. Helps if your kid is semi-sponsored, otherwise multiple pairs of identical skis and bindings add up. Also you get his old skis handed down each fall. Good deal, but he's got to get his FIS ranking up before they'll notice him. |

Thank you thought that was going to be the answer We are not in the right neighborhood on LI you have a better chance of getting lacrosse or sailing stuff. My son hates to train or practice he only likes to play games. |

Take a day off from racing and play in the trees, in the falling snow. It's good for your soul. Trust me on this, and take your clue from the corduroy-constrained people who reply. Jim in Texas |
