I got out for a quick morning ski at Panorama nordic trails about 20 minutes west of Invermere. The setting was beautiful, the snow was plentiful, but the trail network and grooming were underwhelming. I skied classic and had to break trail in several places. Still, it was nice to get out and make at least one use of my classic skis on this trip.

After getting home and grabbing a quick lunch, I joined Alli and Inara for another skate on the Windermere Whiteway. The conditions were once again excellent, though it was overcast today. There was less wind, and so coming back towards the beach did not feel as "uphill" as it had the day before. We took turns pulling Inara in the chariot behind us and were virtually the only people on the lake today, with just a bald eagle in her (his?) nest for company.

On Monday, Alli, Inara, and I drove up to Invermere, BC for a little winter getaway. Unfortunately, I have a cold, but that's not stopping us from enjoying the beautiful Canadian Rockies. We are staying at a condo owned by theGriz, which is working out extremely well. Today we checked out the Lake Windermere Whiteway, a 30km groomed ice skating loop on a series of lakes. It was amazing! Surprisingly, we saw almost no one using nordic skates: nearly everyone had hockey skates on. I guess that's Canada for you! Anyway, the ice was great, the sun was shining, the mountains surrounding us spectacular, and the Chariot worked really well for me and Alli to take turns pulling Inara behind us. What an outing!

Skiing at Pattee Canyon with Alli and her cousin Alex. Really nice conditions.

Back at Seeley Lake. They had groomed yesterday's new snow, and the conditions were fabulous. Fast and smooth without being icy. We had a great time, and I took Inara around on a couple of extra loops going through some lovely Montana forest. I think this place would make for a great Ski-O middle distance area.
