North American Champs Sprint Comp
Today was the first ever ISMF North American Champs sprint comp. I'm here in Crested Butte with a Wasatch contingent, Canadians, Americans, and Italy's A team.
Results went something like this
Women
Melanie Bernier CAN
Janelle Smiley USA
Sari Anderson USA
Gemma Arro Ribot ESP but adopted by Team Wasatch
Men
Manfred Reichegger IT
Reiner Thoni CAN
Lorenzo Holzknecht IT
Andrew McNabb CAN
Jan Koles SLOVAKIA
Travis Scheefer USA
Andrew Dorais USA
Marshall Thompson USA
Jared Inouye USA
Jon Brown USA
Other results from the Wasatch--Jason Dorais USA had a rough race and kept popping out of skis and finished 20th. Tom Goth and Luke Nelson (also had a rough race blowing two skins in 5 min) tied for 21. Chad Brack was 23. Nate Brown was 16.
The real race is tomorrow. Harness, via feratta, and ascender. Should be amusing. Luke and Jason will be on the warpath.

Kids & The White Arts
Here's some footage of family skiing during Thanksgiving and Christmas, shot with my point and shoot camera -- a bit shaky, but you get the point.

Grand Targhee Skimo Classic
Just finished the race. I'm now sitting in my car having hypothermia, shivering pretty hard, and trying not to cramp. But the shivers keep causing cramps. . . .
Race was fun. Jason Dorais took the top honors with Luke Nelson, Ben Parsons, Jared Inouye, Cary Smith, Chris Kroger, and Andy
Dorais in tow in that order.
It was a shorter course and more backcountryish than yesterday's nat course. The gaps were pretty tight and once again it was competitive.
I raced a pretty clean race until the last descent where I put on a class A junk show clinic, snapping my pole off the first drop in, hiking up to get it, then crashing again, and then tucking down the groomers holding bits and pieces of gear. Very fun though.
