Now that my students have successfully completed the loppet, I will probably turn my attention - and theirs - to some touring. The Adirondacks in general, and our campus in particular, have some great backcountry tours. Then too, I hope to do some tours in the Sierras come mid-March. With that in mind I was re-reading, Lou Dawson's 'Wild Snow."
The enclosed quote is by Sir Arnold Lunn, the father of British skiing, and the originator of modern ski racing:
GUIDEBOOKS MERELY DESCRIBE THE SKELETON, LEAVING THE MEMORY TO CLOTHE IT WITH ROMANCE.
