First Snow of the Year

By Brian Gregg

Friday morning we joined the US Ski Team sprint team for some speed work.  It was pretty rainy in the valley when we started but things cleared out.  Afterwards while we were cooling down someone pointed out that you could see snow up in the higher peaks.

Andre and I were pretty excited to have a snowball fight and opted to run/hike to the top of Whiteface Mountain in the afternoon.  We got kind of a late start, but we made it off the technical part before the sun went down.  It was pretty dark by the time we got down to the van. It must be getting closer to winter.
