I tried my feet at skate-skiing today at the cross country place in Flagstaff, AZ. I've tried skate-skiing with my classic skates before and thought it would be a breeze with skis short enough so I couldn't step on my heels, also since I figure skated for 10 years I thought this would be a snap. But, it turns out that it is very tiring and uses some muscles that I haven't developed. Whoo, what a workout! I sort of shuffled around for a while getting little increments of what I considered to be good skiing. On the way back to the lodge I went down my favorite trail of the day called "Wild Bill." Almost entirely downhill this trail was a lot of fun. I found myself yelling, "bring it on, Wild Bill!" since no one was around and only bit the dust once with no injuries to report.

Several hours on Cat Mountain flagging controls.

Instead of seeing President Obama at the U of A I went for a walk around the neighborhood and returned home to listen to his speech.
