I have received enough press releases in the past week to wallpaper the White House. Avoiding the crowds I decided to go cross-country skiing on Saturday. It was the most incredibly gorgeous day, with the snow sparkling white and the sky a blue so intense it seemed fake.
Ski racing is about being the fastest, but it is about a whole lot more.
This race was certainly proof of that. Ol Mosesen, the man who started the cross-country center back in the 1970s and who left only after he had a stroke in 1995, was back. He was out skiing. Not very fast, and with only one pole, but certainly showing what determination can achieve. Ol , who is from Norway, said he found the Mad River Valley back in the 60s by mistake.
