I know I didn’t post yesterday but that was because we didn’t do anything. Today however is a different story! The snow continued to fall most of the day and the temperature never got above 25 or so which means the snow that fell, stayed!

This afternoon I finally got some of the Olympic experience, the Biathlon! We went to Verizon Sports Complex here in Lake Placid where the athletes competed during the ‘80 Olympics and got to shoot on the same range they did. Biathlon is a Winter Sport where skiers ski to a range, take 5 shots with a 22 caliber rifle from 50 meters, then ski some more to another range for 5 more shots before skiing to the end. For every miss the skiers either ski penalty loops or add time to their overall time.

Don’t worry, I did get a couple of pictures of me at the range and will be posting them soon. Tomorrow I will be venturing over to Whiteface Mountain to tackle the slopes that the Olympians once raced down. Even though Chris is an experienced skier this will be my first time to the slopes.

And don’t forget, the Pack take on the Pirates of East Carolina tonight at 7 in the RBC Center!

Go Pack!
