Night GS. Clear and very cold - temps right around 0F, with a decent breeze. Course sets were not especially turny, but the tempo was higher - way less vertical distance. Usually, this would be my bread and butter, but ... it was so cold I couldn't flex my boots the way I wanted to. Really a bummer.

That said, I skied my first run, on the blue course, pretty well. I got a little late at the top, and had to slide a turn because of the rut, but I charged. Second run, the red course, was super rutty. Didn't ski well at all, got caught inside and low, and skied too round in the sections I should have charged. Still, my first top-10 of the year, so I'll take it.
