Snowy Day at Trapps: Winter is finally here!

It was a glorious day for classic skiing at Trapps, and with it came the first real signs of winter: a classic heavy eastern snow storm made things dreamlike out on the trails today.
We had a small group today, but we worked on sprint starts, cornering, and did some speed work with 30 30s.
The snow was falling fast and hard the whole time we were there, and continues as I write even now.
  

We did some tele turns in the powder to cool down. Nice! Now off to the Eastern Cups in Maine.
