A quest for the perfect water bottle belt, Part 4

12/2/2011 - By Mike Muha

Angled and insulated holster, water bottle, pocket, gel flask and holder, and shock cord to hold loose ends. Is this it? Have I finally found the perfect water bottle belt?

Today, I'm having my heart shocked

12/1/2011 - By Mike Muha

Yep, my heart is in A-fib and making shambles of my training. So this morning the doctor is putting me to sleep, then sending low-energy shocks to my heart to trigger a normal rhythm.

Wax report from CXC Team

This year in Yellowstone, we brought a relatively small group (seven) of skiers and only one coach, so waxing had the potential to get hairy if conditions got completely sketchy.

The next sweet water bottle belt to ingratiate itself was a Solda belt. It looked like a nice holster for the water bottle, and duo pockets on either side. Maybe this will be the one.

The first pretty water bottle holder I tried was another Ultimate Directions, the "Access Gel". It seemed to have everything - a water bottle, gel flask and holder, wax pouch, and a nifty way to manage excess belt length.

LATEST TRAIL CONDITIONS

FRI, MAR 13

Dunes Golf Club: Snow conditions repaired the natural way.
7" plus on the ground with more on the way Sunday and Monday.
A classic skiers dream.
Natural conditions exist with moist heavy snow.
Plowed parking at entrance.

All this on Friday the 13th

Reindeer Run Nordic Center: Ungroomed conditions exist.

Reindeer Run Nordic Center: Empire airport snowmobile trailhead
7+ and counting, hard pack base, local st riders have been using the county line (oviat rd) to get access to snowmobile trail and backcountry areas, this is a county plowed parking area. A popular parking area and usually used daily by skiers. The Osborn rd parking lot may not be plowed but parking on road shoulder is okay.
More snow expected Sunday and Monday.
Heavy moist snow on in groomed conditions exist.
Main snowmobile trail I would expect some moderate snow machine activity.
Sort of the endless winter syndrome...

Hiawatha Highlands: Good Morning Everyone!! It's not as cool as yesterday morning, and it has started to snow.....temp -6 C.

There was no grooming overnight -- we actually had no snowfall overnight, until just recently. It is quite windy out, so the open areas could have windswept snow over the trails.

The Mabel Lake Trail was groomed yesterday as of 11:30 a.m.

We hope everybody has a fantastic day!!

Cross Country Ski Headquarters: We gotten about 5" of fresh snow this morning, with no sign of it stopping! Trails are open today and all skiable, but not groomed yet. We plan to have the trails groomed by tomorrow morning, with some pretty darn good 'spring skiing' available. This weekend could be a truly amazing 'last hurrah"!

Nubs Nob: No bare spots anywhere- skied the red loop - a hard pack very well groomed base with an inch of fresh on top. . Snow was granular , high moisture and a bit sticky for my wax , HF7 : but I bet others got it right . Bluebird day on a great trail !

Forbush Corner: The predicted heavy snow is falling, forecast is 6 to 8 inches in the next 24 hours. We expect to groom, but expect soft conditions and new snow accumulating. This is great news for tomorrow. We will be able to open up the whole trail system with great conditions. The forecast for Sunday and Monday is for a major winter storm. We may have to close and wait this storm out. Stay tuned. We will see how it goes. The forecast keeps changing!

THU, MAR 12

Boyne Mountain: The big thaw left our trails in very marginal condition. We will be closed Friday, the 13th, and reopening on Saturday, the 14th, trusting that Mother Nature is about to replenish our snow. We hope to be open through Sunday the 22nd, but will update as conditions dictate.

Dunes Golf Club: Looks like Dawson tracks all over the place...
As always best snow with a base is all the way in the back (south) on the east west fairway which is last to go in the spring. Some actually will walk for their last runs. See what we get in the next snow event.

"It's the hard core skiers who last out the season."
Ernie Brumbaugh

Stokely Creek: Full trail system groom with snow and perfect temps in the forecast. Peak ski season continues just quick border crossing away. One plus side to USA being rogue is no wait at customs!

Hiawatha Highlands: We are so excited!!! It's a beautiful sunny morning up here, we got some more snow overnight and the temps cooled down....currently at -9 C.

The groomer was out this morning -- all systems were groomed with the Piston Bully for both classic and skate.

It's a perfect day to grab your gear and head on up for a ski.....the trails are dialed in and looking splendid!

Forbush Corner: Opening back up today now that cooler temperatures have returned. Icing has also returned. Fresh groom on the man-made snow loops only. Snow is in the forecast, so we should be able to get some additional trails open over the weekend. Open 9 to 5. Spring trail fee $10.

WED, MAR 11

Stokely Creek: Surprisingly skiable despite no groom today. There's a half inch of slow snow in the tracks, so if you stayed in the tracks it was fine. Out of the track was a rutted frozen slush ridge clustermunch. Stay in the track.

Base is THICK so this weekend coming up looks like excellent skiing!
