Today a bunch of us amazingly dragged ourselves out of bed at 4:30 in the morning and hit the road to drive to Trollhaugen ski area in Dresser, Wisconsin. Let's just say it was still dark when we started skiing. If you could call it that. We quickly established that rollerskiing is indeed drastically different from snow skiing. We were hit with freezing rain, slush, ice, and clouds. But the four hours of driving was worth it because WE SKIED ON SNOW! After getting over our initial excitement and everyone had fallen at least three times, we worked on a little technique with Tom. After two hours of hills, we headed home, but not without some pumpkin pie made by Gretchen. Yummy.
Oh! Also, this weekend was the NCAA Cross Country Regionals races at St. Olaf. The men took both the individual and team titles, and the women were second. Emma Lee was 5th! Both teams head off to DIII Nationals, so wish them good luck if you see them.
