SNOW!!!!

I've skied every day for the past eight days, including some really shitty skiing on about 2mm of snow on Wednesday of this week. It was the first time in my life I was able to claim the first ski of the season of the team I'm training with. And I celebrated the last night without skiing by attending a midnight screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Loads of fun, and I got to wear a dress for the first time in my life, which was interesting. The lack of pockets and any upper body material was bothersome, and rather cold in the theatre. But, there is snow, in the form of a short (about 400m) hamster loop around a pair of soccer fields. Hopefully we will get on the actual trails soon! And I have exams coming up soon, but that doesn't bother me too too much. 13 days till my first race of the season, a 15km individual start classic race at Lappe in Thunder Bay on the 19th, followed by a 10km free mass start on the Sunday. But I have to get through exams first.
