7:30 at Preston Park and Ride, groomed sticker required for each vehicle, purchased ahead of time. Passengers to reimburse drivers for both gas and portion of permit costs.
Our goal will be to climb high and hopefully find better and better snow as we do so. This can be a challenging ski, definitely not for beginners or those with new boots with a high blister potential. Stamina with prolonged climbing and managing speed on the descent are necessary. That said, skilled skaters are welcome, although may be traveling at a different pace from the leader, who will be traveling on classic skis with metal edges.
Hopefully, glorious weather and impeccable grooming and snow will be found. Sometimes, conditions can be rougher. We will edit our goals given the conditions we find and aim to generally stay together.
