day 35. skiing. mt. abrams. 1/15.

kasmira's first race of the season. night races at mt. abrams are fun because the mountain is actually closed to the public so its all about the race. i think there were six schools in the race. kasmira was racer #26. the course looked good. kasmira's grandmother chris and her "significant other" rick came to cheer her on. she took a gate a little wide on the first run and it slowed her down a little but she was all smiles when she skied up to us. on her second run she seemed to be taking a tighter line and skiing faster but her time was pretty much the same. i think she was probably actually skiing faster the first time which is why she took that gate wide, so it kind of evened out: she started faster the first run and finished faster the second run. she came in 22nd and her girls team came in 2nd and the boys 1st. a good start to the season. the next three races are at sunday river on thursday afternoons.
