We're back in Maine; came up Thursday so Whitney could make it to the practice day on Friday and be ready to race BX on the weekend. After a very frustrating morning of phone calls and texts, trying to keep up with information, the Maine Mountain series directors and Sugarloaf decided it was best to cancel the practice.
It was very foggy this morning when we got up and that later turned to rain. The UMF coach was going to hold practice later in the morning and the BX practice was moved from this morning to the afternoon. Instead of doing any snowboarding today we emptied her car, put away all her clothes, books, etc. that she had brought home over break, took a drive, went to the movies, caught up on a few shows we missed, and went grocery shopping so she had snacks for the day tomorrow.
The fog turned to rain which turned into harder rain, then back to just fog, then to rain again. It's been a long day trying to pass the time. She heard from a friend that lives close to Sugarloaf that they closed the mountain early today because of the unrelenting rain and fog. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. A strong cold front is supposed to come through which is supposed to bring freezing rain, then sleet finally turning to snow tomorrow afternoon. If the fog doesn't lift much I may end up just hanging out in the lodge for the day instead of hiking to the bottom of the race course. We'll just have to wait and see.
