It's been a really slow start to the season, more so than last year. Whitney finally made it to a couple of practices this week. Between being out of town and not feeling well, she didn't make it until Wednesday. The slopes were rather sloppy due to the warm weather and not everything is open yet. She went back down for Thursday's practice; they both went well, just not too pretty.
She had been looking forward to the boarder cross competition this weekend at Wisp, MD. She was signed up and we had the hotel reservation set, then when we got to Massanutten for practice on Thursday, I had a facebook message from the Appalachian Series that they had to cancel the BX due to lack of snow. They didn't have enough snow to carve the course for the BX; the slopestyle competition today is still going on. Guess they had enough snow in the park, just not on the hills. So we cancelled our hotel reservation, changed our plans for the weekend, and will wait to see if they're able to reschedule.
She decided to skip today's practice. Saturday ones are good to go to since they're three hours, but between the warm weather the last few days, rain yesterday, fog this morning, the slopes were going to be REALLY messy. Not really worth the drive down. It's supposed to cool down in a few days and the overnight temps are going to be cold so hopefully they'll be able to make some snow and what there is will firm up so practice on Wednesday and Thursday coming up will be a lot better.
Think COLD and SNOW!!
