Downhill skiing 3:37:08 [1] 20.34 km (10:41 / km) +2621m 6:30 / km

Cypress with Carla. My pass doesn't let me do downhill on weekends in Jan/Feb, but Carla had a spare corporate pass so I got to ski for free :)

Beautiful blue sky day, and the snow was better than expected. Did a few laps of Eagle while the lineups were still short, then over to Raven, then Sky Chair. An excellent outing.

Orienteering 1:16:31 [3] 6.79 km (11:16 / km) +269m 9:24 / km

Fun Darkside at Burke Mountain.

There are some lovely pockets of forest on this map, and I appreciate Joanne pre-running the course to make sure she used as much nice stuff as possible. Adam's winning time of 57 minutes for 5.1km straight line will clarify that "lovely" and "nice" are very much relative terms.

Very reflective pinflags tonight, so was able to take some riskier route choices. Compass-work was mostly okay, but I found myself drifting a few times - need to remember to check the compass more often at night.

Bonus points to Joanne for supplying cookies at the finish line!
