Grace Staberg spent a good bit of time picturing how her attempt at a world record would go.
The 19-year-old Silverthorne resident, who set a goal of breaking the women’s 24-hour world uphill ski record (57,980 feet, set earlier this winter by Italy’s Martina Valmassoi), planned on consuming 300 calories of real food an hour during the effort, including jelly sandwiches and oatmeal. She envisioned chatting with the friends accompanying her on many 2,630-foot vertical laps that involved skinning up a mountain slope and skiing down. And she certainly thought she’d be able to take a quick pee break.
