Temps in the teens. Day started with unexpected sunshine, and then clouds and snow rolled in for the afternoon (run 2). Masters GS race, full length. Day started with about an hour of clearing ~6" of fresh snow off the hill. Course set was pretty good flow, relatively direct on the pitch, and then a fun runout.

First run, I really skied the top flat well, and was pretty clean on the pitch. May have overskied it a bit, but definitely overskied the middle flat. Still, only 0.5 out of 3rd, so feeling pretty good.

Redress for 2nd run, and ... the clouds rolled in. My second run was pretty much a disaster. I got inside skating around the second gate, almost went down, and was fighting it really the whole way. Just not charging, and behind it. Sigh.

Ended up in 8th I think. A bit disappointed, but ... it happens.
