Here Bre is ready to go. Zoom Zoom!
I see in this photo that I managed to coordinate my hat and pants.
Catherine Chague-Goff, a visiting professor from Austrailia came with us.
Catherine and Bre are feeling good at 1.5 kilometers.
We did the 6k Nousaygi ko-su or Nousagi course. It took us just over 2 hours, meaning we were not very fast. There were a bunch of skiers who were going much faster than us.
[interjection from Bre-- it took Catherine and I two hours; Kyle skied the 6km course much faster than we did]
There were several points on the course where there was a steep downhill. This sign is warning about the downhill section ahead. Skiing down a hill on X-C skis is quite different from downhill skis. They are much harder to steer. I fell down when I went too fast down a hill.
Like all good racetracks they have a finish line! ゴール = Go-ru (aka Goal)
That's all for now,
Kyle (and Bre)
I take it you don't think of bringing sunglasses, even when you are schussing along in the snow - weather has been dark in most of the other pictures - so glad you are getting out and about and sliding on the snow! Bre - the fall when you're going too fast is known as a butt check and an important piece of a cross country (or any kind of) skier's repretoire...I think I didn't spell that right...
