The skinny ski life: All Earning, No Turning.
Well the season is thankfully upon us. We have engaged in all the ancient rituals: the scrapping of the storage wax, the changing of the pole tips, the "Where did I put my gloves/hat,etc" dance. We made offerings to the gods of gravity and flex on the spiffy new wax-pocket measuring light thingy:

Early this morning the kids set off on the customary Thanksgiving Hajj to West Yellowstone. (Dang it was cold!)

I headed over the local touring center. Conditions ranged the full "better than" gamut: from better-than-nothing all the way up to better-than-you-would-expect. Actually, conditions are quite good, for as little snow as we have.

The wife and I will be heading up to West in a couple of days. Conditions are said to be prime. Can't wait.
In other nordic news, the New York Times had an article on the US Women Jumpers:
The National Team crowd seems to be off to a good start in Beiotstolen. All the women placed in the top 30 yesterday, with Sadie Bjornson taking 5th. Today Liz Stephen took 6th, and Noah Hoffman notched a 7th.
