With a fresh 5 inches of snow and good weather this weekend, I had ample opportunity to do some cross country skiing. I took advantage of the opportunity and I was able to ski both days this weekend. Saturday's snow was a little sticky and made it slow going. Today, however, the cold provided slick snow for skiing. Cutting new trails is always a struggle. But once the tracks are down, gliding is easier. Slight hills and straight trails under the power lines, creates an easier trail. The trick is to get the sliding down. The more sliding the easier and faster you'll go. Having a friend along to help cut the new snow is a bonus, also.
Fresh snow on the trees created a beautiful landscape. Ducking under weighed down branches can be tricky. Avoiding those branches so as not to get a pile of snow down your back, is always on my mind.
With warmer weather coming back in this week, it may be a few days until I can ski the trails again.
