walking with family in Tarrytown.

Chuck and I went skiing at Lapland Lakes today. Not that we didn't have enough snow at home, which is usually why we go there, but we just wanted the great routes and well-groomed trails of Lapland... ahhh. There was some serious snow up there. We had to help out a minivan that had done a 180 on the road leading up to the cross country ski lodge. Then we ran into about a billion New York State HS sectional competitors on the trails. Luckily they were all much faster than us so it didn't really bother us. We did the Sisu and some other trails- finishing of course with our favorite- the tuulen tie.

So when my mom said they had 2 feet of snow I thought it was sort of a generalized "we have a lot of snow" type of comment. No, we really had two feet of snow as I found out yesterday we my plane got in. Today Chuck and I went skiing at Thacher Park on my first day back home. We had to break our own trails and we didn't get very far, we just kept going back and forth on the paths we made and went a little further each time.
