Oh, Mother Nature...

The weather has really been making a mess of Whitney's planned race schedule so far this winter. First the SL/GS at Massanutten was cancelled. They had a great start to the season, lots of cold and snow. Then we got warm and rainy weather. In the end they decided that they had to cancel the race because they couldn't safely set a course. It was a bummer since it was the only time that Whitney could race in Virginia this year.

The weather was bitterly cold in Maine but the races went off as scheduled. Saturday was very cold and windy, Sunday started off colder but the wind had died down, the sun was out so it was actually pretty nice out. Then there's this weekend. Whitney was supposed to go to NH to race GS/SL at Waterville Valley. Nope. Big snowstorm coming in and they cancelled the race on Thursday. Hopefully soon she'll get in some racing, just need the weather to cooperate.

She had a great day at Titcomb today, riding in the powder with her Nordic friends (they rented skis from Mainely Outdoors, the on campus rec program). Tomorrow she's going to head back to Sugarloaf for some riding in the morning. Classes, which yes are still a thing in her life, start Wednesday but she'll still have plenty of time to ride.
