Every Trail Craftsbury
Several Mondays ago (on March 8th), Akeo and I checked off a big item on our bucket list: we skied every Outdoor Center groomed ski trail in the Craftsbury - Greensboro area in a day. I first dreamed of this after the Center’s Every Road Craftsbury running challenge in 2019. When Jeff Tucker biked that challenge in a day, it made us wonder what we could do on skis. Still, even with this dream in our minds, the huge energy demand and trail condition constraints necessary for the challenge made it difficult to complete during a typical ski racing season. However, this March, a less frequent COVID racing schedule and cooperative snow conditions gave us an opportunity to give the Every Craftsbury Ski Trail challenge our best shot.
