The Mountain under the dark clouds was a unique shot of Mount Mckinley in the early Morning.  All the other mountain scenes were from our drive along The Turnagain Arm - (One of Americas most Scenic Drives) - On the Seward Highway - S. of Anchorage. 

The group shots (in street clothes) were taken in front of the Portage Glacier.

2007-12-08 CXC- Midwest Junior Olympic Qualifier at Troll Hollow : The CXC- Midwest Junior Olympic Qualifier series began with a bang and a shiver today at Troll Hollow in Dresser, WI. After a 1 hour delay to wait for the temp to rise to -5`F (International Ski Federation legal minimum), 180 juniors towed the line for a 1km classic sprint. This record field for the Opener included an Open category for seniors/masters, and a youth event for under 11. A large contingent of junior and senior CCSA collegiate skiers raced as well. 
 
Trollhaugen creates a great venue for sprinting, with a challenging course that is easily accessible for spectators and coaches. The snow was solid, warming facilities comforting, and the staff most cooperative. 
 
The day began with a 15 second interval start for all competitors to determine qualifiers for the heats of 6. 12-24 athletes in each gender/age category stepped to the line every 5 minutes for almost 3 hours to determine the podium finishers. The action was fast and furious, with some tremendous efforts and an occasional unintentional collision and scramble.
