Saturday was the Hog Loppet! For those not familiar with this event it is 19.9 miles of cross country skiing at it best. We skied from the top of Mission Ridge Ski Area to Blewett Pass. The first 2.4 miles we call the "rodeo" since you are off groomed road and there are a couple good downhill sections, lots of crashes, and many people to negotiate. Then there is a few miles of good ups and downs but near the end there is a long (and on my skis fast) downhill to the finish.
This year our group consisted of Chris, Katie, Bram, Sherry, Hilary, Aaron and Me. For most of us this was our second year and the weather was gorgeous, thank you weather gods. I think we all agree that to do this event you need good boots, a little beer, and a health sense of humor.
After the ski we all headed to Chris and Katie for a great dinner and then we were all ready for a sleep. Thanks to everyone in the group it was a blast and I can not wait until next year.
