Endless Winter: Chasing snow in Iceland

Too much winter? No such thing for some Craftsbury members. The Massey Bierman family has spent the past week in Iceland racing, pushing their annual total of snow days over 100, and sight seeing. Lots of snow, and very wintry snow at that. They've reported temps remaining below freezing, and as low as -8C - blue hard wax skiing!Last weekend was Iceland's Donald Duck festival (think BKL fest). Quincy won the 9-10 year old classic race, and was second in the skate. Marika raced to 6th in 13-14 year old classic race, and just off the podium in 4th in freestyle. Both races were interval start. The festival drew around 150 nordie kids, along with 400 or so alpiners. Full results
