I haven't skied much since the City of Lakes a couple weeks ago, but reading about the "Ski to the Clouds" in upstate New York New Hampshire makes me positively shivery with excitement. "Billed as 'North America’s Toughest 10K,' Ski to the Clouds will be held on March 9, 2008 and includes a climb of more than 2200 vertical feet over the final 6 kilometers." Wow. The race is reminiscent of the "Climb to the Castle" rollerski race this summer. Check out the course profile for the 10k:
Tough and fun to dream about trying. Maybe next year.
