To say the least Sunday was chaotic. The weather was playing tricks on club planning, yes I know it is hard to believe but we do plan, well Tom does. The conditions at Far Hills were unclear on Saturday so we warned members that it may be fast. At this point all plans went out the window.
First , several club members had committed to the Viking Loppet, where existing and old club members did extremely well. Tom, Maria and Jessica all won medals, as did previous club member Tony Gagliardi in the 20km ski event. Of course one of Tom’s main rivals Dennis M could not ski due to a leg injury, reminds one of the Kerrigan / Harding ice skating scandal, no Tom would not get involved in such a thing, or would he… We also had medal winners in their class in the 5 km snow shoe event. Well done Linda M, and old member Arlene Vickery and old friend Sandy Laviolette. Check out photos on web page.
Secondly, a group had a good ski at Cap St Jacques on Saturday and decided that they would repeat it on Sunday and not drive anywhere, even Al L was seen out on Sunday.
Thirdly, some of the Saturday skiers decided the good snow was in the East and went to Sutton en haut, quote from Helene C “We decided to go to Sutton. What a blast!” Given Helene and Cheryl Ninja background I am not quite sure what she meant by blast Two other club members were also at Sutton David and Karen, but I do not think that they met up, mind you if the ninjas were setting of explosives I am not sure if I would get too close.
Fourthly, a group went to St Bruno having heard it was in good condition. Nothing to report no comments from Mickey or Sharon or friends as of today ( Wednesday)
So what about Far Hills, as Tom said in his email , if anybody went they are keeping quiet about it, perhaps they had a great time..
And the non skiing members, well I found the Timmies coffee tasted just as good.
