We are knee deep in Alta’s world trying to get a 3 mile section approved by the Forest Service and the water shed folks, we will know more Monday. Here is a quick summary:

Go up the Cirque Traverse single track to the top of the tram, head down the single track through the tunnel and back up the ridge a then cross baldy into sugarloaf pass. There is a big loop we do down into Mineral Basin and back to Sugar loaf pass. Go down the Alta road on the Albion basin side and cross down the by the rope tow and bang a left back up Collins to Sugar loaf pass, back down Mineral Basin out to the book cliffs and back to the tunnel and back up to the top of the tram, then we cruise out the little Cloud single track and loops around back to the tram and then down the Peruvian side on fire road to the tram deck. This is a quick summary~Thanks for your patience, the two resorts have done a great job, just a little piece left for the Forest Service approve. This is a tough canyon to get a race approved, but we did it, so enjoy the views! Final instructions will be posted this weekend! bahahaha

Geoff, the key to cold gel is adding a little water to the flask, although you will sacrifice some gel, you at least will get it out of the flask. Try the new Powerbar gels, they are the thinnest of all now. They have a new formula. -wahsatchspeedgoat

Good Stuff! I’ll have to try that method in my next race. I ran a 12-hour night race last weekend for the first time on nothing but gels and EFS and it rocked–2nd place! In fact, First Endurance products have transformed my running. Looking forward to the dismemberment (AJW’s word) of SJ while you’re running that big loop in the San Juan’s. Keep’em coming Karl!

Bah!

I’ve tried out the Nathan Gel Flasks and the gel never seems to come out easy enough, as if the opening just isn’t large enough. I suppose it may have something to do with running in mostly cool weather up here in Alaska, but even this time of year when it’s 55-65 degrees it still just doesn’t come out easy enough.
