Training Log Archive: Etoile

After yesterday's mild temps things have gotten cold again. We've been having steady fine snow since this morning so it was a perfect day for Adventure Girl and I to join mama and papa for a hike in the valley followed by some tobogganing (aka hill training). Fun time.

I guess Adventure Girl still had lots of energy to burn even after today's hike and toboggan. We went back to Churchill Park and did another round of classic skiing and hills followed by a bout of skate skiing. The layer of fresh fluffy snow on top of the crunchy-icey stuff was quite nice, especially for the skate-ski. Ran into my cousin and her kids who were out skating with the rest of Westdale on the outdoor rink.

Went for a great Ski with Adventure Girl today in Churchill Park. Started off doing classic - since A-G loves going downhill and wanted to keep doing downhills, that meant going Uphill A LOT!
After half an hour of that, we found a good spot to pratise skate skiing. Good thing we went out in the morning since the temps really warmed things up by the afternoon and the snow got pretty soggy - perfect for snowmen and snowballs!
