First week of night league. Temps in the low 20s. Fairly clear. Snow guns everywhere except the section of Challenger with the courses set. Snow in the course was pretty hard and grippy, but sets were unbelievably straight. It came at you a bit quick considering how straight it was, but really ... skate skate tuck. Not my cup of tea.

All that said, I did fairly well. Ended up T-9, which is pretty good. First run was decent, but didn't get a great start. Second run, we were starting to get pretty big holes right under the gate. I also got a bit late, and crossed the finish right with my partner, which made me really nervous and I started to shut it down before the line.

Still, all in all it was alright. Wish I had brought the 30m skis. Would have been a good day for them.
