Dev,

Winter's officially over! Although, It's supposed to snow here in the Toronto area today.

Another hour on the rollers last night!

Don't know about L.P. but I went x-country skiing yesterday for what will likely be the last time this year. The snow on the trails is starting to disappear rapidly.

The orda webcam is somewhat useless. It shows the flat stadium area at Mt Van. This location is surrounded by trees and is not windblown. It also is flat and no rocks are ever exposed. I'd like to know how some of the steeper south facing sun drenched pitches are holding out.

Fleck, there is still a few more weeks of winter where we live. Pics from yesterday:

Dev;

I'm probably heading over to Salmon Hills this weekend (Saturday morning for sure) . About 3 hours from Ottawa. 36"-60" base!!!

Meet you there. No Rock Skis Required!! I'll even use my brand new RCS' :-)

They ended up with 16 inches of new powder here in LP over the past 24hours. The guys at Mt VanH did a bang up job grooming and regrooming and regrooming. They have over 2 feet of packed base. Even yesterday before all the snow, they still have over 18 inches of packed base. I have to say, the hills here feel a lot "flatter" at training intensities. I've never trained, here, just raced on the ski trails, and they feel a lot tougher at race pace, cause you typically enter each climb already close to your redline, vs training, where you enter each climb with 30-40 bpm of headroom!

Anyway, I did around 30K last nite and another 45K today (30 solo, 15 with my son). My legs are totally cooked...we are now sitting by a fire and I am dreading the thought of heading out for a silly 30 min run to try to make is 86 days of running in a row...this is the price I pay for sleeping in and killing my early morning window of opportunity for running.
