NCS skimeister

About 30 years ago I created an event to honor the days of four event skiers that we still do today. The goal of the skimeister was to get everyone out - on a fine winter day - doing all the different types of ski events, try new things, and not just ski their specialty. Over the years the events have changed somewhat, occasionally we have put in some whacky wrinkles (one ski and one snowshoe), and every so often we have students do all the events on a single pair of skis as in the 1920s.

The event this year was a great success, Lucy did all the events, although she was a little timid on the very icy slalom course and the jump. However, she finished second overall in the biathlon, and fifth overall in the Nordic event.
