SMS Alumni Report From Megan
Hi guys!br /br /So far Dartmouth has been amazing! I basically live out of the girl’s locker room and enjoy the sauna after practice and things are good! I got a fish for my room! It’s a betta and his name is Elton…I think he adds character. br / Hanover is beautiful, training has been great (I especially like Thursday morning yoga), and while classes are definitely giving me a kick in the butt, they’re also good ☺.br /Last weekend was Home Coming, which was totally fun and insane! The nordie girls had all the freshmen girls dress up in spandex and sports bras (which we would do anyway!) and we ran countless laps around the giant bonfire on the green (one of the many Dartmouth traditions…haha).br / I’m definitely getting the itch for snow, and getting REALLY excited for camp! But for now I’m enjoying the fall and learning all the ins and outs of college life! br /br /a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SuiIVtTjlBI/AAAAAAAABYY/psCUqo2rOJA/s1600-h/101_2893.JPG.jpeg”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SuiIVtTjlBI/AAAAAAAABYY/psCUqo2rOJA/s400/101_2893.JPG.jpeg” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397714059923788818″ //abr /(heh heh…Megan didn’t know that I had a secret photographer on site)div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4680416899705879324-3128978891894977246?l=smsxc.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div

Groomer(s) Wanted
The ideal candidate will have experience making good skiing (classic or skating) with less than 12” of snow on unfrozen ground. The option may exist to groom on smooth, road-quality grades, which would make the production of good tracks much easier. Must provide own grooming equipment (snowmobile and track sled recommended). Borrowing said equipment under a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy may be an option. There will be no financial compensation, though you will build up lots of good karma. It’s imperative that the groomer can start tomorrow, as these conditions may only exist for a few days.
In all seriousness, things are starting to look pretty promising for an early winter. There’s about a foot of snow up at Bachelor right now, and unlike the first snow of the year there’s not a lot of warm sunny days in the forecast. Of course it might all get rained away by this weekend, but I hope not. Either way, I’m hopeful that if there’s this much snow (or more – there’s still hope!) in 10 days, the groomers up at the mountain might start driving around. That would be great, because I already had my hack-around-on-rock-skis-without-it-really-being-training day, and I don’t really need another. But it would be pretty awesome to be on snow actually skiing before West. It sure worked for APU last year!

Early Classic and 3000 Run
This morning we did a little classic specific strength and speed, but it was much too dark to take pictures (we drove the kids to the sunbowl and left our headlights on so they could see). We followed the ski with some upper body and core strength.a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SueS35VUL8I/AAAAAAAABYQ/WyD_vajsQ1A/s1600-h/100_5525.JPG”img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H2SCM3lmKm8/SueS35VUL8I/AAAAAAAABYQ/WyD_vajsQ1A/s400/100_5525.JPG” border=”0″ alt=””id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397444167407513538″ //abr /This afternoon we went to Bennington for our 3000 meter running test. We had not done the test in 13 months and it was nice to see that we had PR’s for all but one (Izzy has been sick). Mt. Anthony Union HS is very kind and lets us run on their track. It was fun to see their xc running team just finishing up a speed workout when we arrived. Runners of the day were Austin Cobb, Tyler, Heather and Rachel. Here are the times: Austin Cobb 9:59, Skyler 10:07, Matt 10:10, Bridger 10:23, Austin Caldwell 10:30, Tyler 10:56, Walker 11:06, Heather 11:07, Rachel 11:13, Mac 11:15, Gage 11:48, Hallie 12:07, Cambria 12:11, Izzy 12:13, Issy 12:23, Brooke 14:05.div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4680416899705879324-5542705317183404920?l=smsxc.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
