...in Illinois no less. Actually I went to the US National Championships at the Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove today. The grandson of friends from Vermont was supposed to compete but he has an ankle injury and is out of competition until December. Nick Alexander's aunt Kim emailed me a month or so ago from Italy where she lives to let me know about this event. Nick was there to support his teammates and I got to meet him.
You're probably wondering how they hold a championship on a fall day that was in the 70's. It's done by using thousands of plastic mats that are spayed with water. This mirrors snow conditions.
