Back on the Trail

IMG_0461a

I finally made my first venture out on the cross country ski trail yesterday evening. I skied the lighted Pine Valley Ski trail by night. It was beautiful. The temperature hovered at 15° F. A moon waxing toward a full moon filled the landscape with light.

I went two times around the 2 ½ km. loop.

The holiday season provided little time for skiing, besides the two dogs love running on the golf course, so I used my snowshoes for exercise.IMG_4487-1.jpg

I skied the longer 5 km loop this afternoon under a wonderfully sunny sky. The trail was well groomed and in excellent condition. A green wax for 5-15° F. worked very well.

Alas I think Maggie and Lila will mourn my return to skiing. (Dog are not allowed on the trail.)
