A little under two hours, a little over 5 miles.

It was cloudy, but the 7 new inches of snow made up for the lack of sun.

So glad I went before my week in California and when I get back it's the last month of skiing for nine long months.

One Quick Hour

Busy day, so one quick hour of skiing. 3.3 miles of sunshine on glistening snow and a great workout!

Skate Skiing

Today Kathy and I went to Ladies Day at Sundance Nordic Center. We rented skate skis (we usually do classic cross-country skiing) and took a lesson. Skate skiing is harder to learn so we've never tried it. But we often see skate skiers on the trails and the way they ski looks so graceful and fun, so we thought we'd give it a try.

It was really fun ~ but such a workout! It requires more effort than classic but there's a great "glide factor," which is exhilarating. I just may have to invest in skate skis at some point!

A Sunny Ski

Today was a perfect ski day: blue sky, sunshine and beautiful white snow!

One hour and 46 minutes and 4.61 miles. Awesome!
