The team officially has the first 30km of travel behind them. 14km yesterday and 17km today in beautiful conditions (very warm actually). Warm conditions can pose some challenges, especially when trying to regulate your body temperature while skiing all day. Luckily for the team, there is colder weather on the horizon. The forecast for next week is temperatures in the single digits, and the higher they climb toward the summit of their route, the colder it will get. For now, they are still getting used to spending all day on skis and snow rather than walking on concrete, but with each mile, the team will become more fit and efficient.
Check back tomorrow for more updates...
