Our team headed down to west Yellowstone for our first official start to the season in north America. I was excited to finally start racing and the travel down was pretty easy a 10hr drive. Watching Nitros circus with my neighbor/wax tech/friend joel jaques made the time fly by. Arriving in west i was surprised how quiet it was and later i found out that West Yellowstone gets all there visitors in the summer averaging about 1.3million.
Taking a cruize on the streets of West
Skidoos where taken to the streets and obeying most of the rules to the road which was interesting to see. First up was the classic sprint qualifier no heats just the prologue. I was excited, unfortunately we skied the course the day before and most skiers where not to stoked on the flat terrain. I did my best as a small dude and not so much a double poler.

Classic sprint, sweet bibs eh
My next focus came in the classic 10km which also was run on a flat course. I was happy with the result even though my room mate/team mate beat me by 1.1 seconds. It makes it allot of fun when it is that tight. We headed home the day after, Hoping to see snow in canmore but that was not the case.

Classic 10km trying to stride what ever i could
We are now prepping for our first race in canmore a small Alberta cup starting with a classic sprint on Saturday and a 10km skate in Sunday. I don't know if Sunday will go because canmore will be entering it's first deep freeze of the year ( highs of -22). And to our surprise it has been snowing all day in canmore which is awesome and hopefully we will be skiing some more of canmore great trail system soon.
