After Zoe aced her exams and Evelyn turned a few rookie skiers into pros giving lessons at White Pine Touring, we hopped in the car for the 13.5 hour trek over the edge of
the border to Rossland, BC for a weekend of NorAm racing. Long drive, but now
we know the words to ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ by heart, so it was good for something!
Don’t ask us for a rendition, we’re going to break it out at the next karaoke
night…

| Women's 10km skate podium |
The first day was a skate sprint on a sweet course with good ups, fun downs and sharp curves, a little bit of everything. Both Zoe and
Evelyn were unfortunately eliminated in hard fought quarterfinals. To put
it in Evelyn’s words, “I was a loser, but I wasn’t lucky…” The next day was a
10k mass start skate that made for exciting racing. It came down to a sprint
showdown in which Evelyn nabbed 4th. Zoe ended up 12th.

All in all, a solid weekend of racing. Thanks to Black Jack
Ski Club for putting on some good races! Zoe and Evelyn are both in
Bend for Christmas, Zoe to hang out with her family and Evelyn to visit her old
stomping grounds.
