Skimo 1:15:00 [1] 7.96 km (9:25 / km) +943m 5:55 / km
Drove to the ski slope at around noon. It was 2 degrees and I had overdressed. The wind was very strong. At least it didn't rain anymore.
I started up the steepest slope. I assumed I'd gain 500 meters of elevation and I wasn't far up. This is a "slope" by the way. It hasn't been prepared this winter and the snow condition varied greatly. The wind had me stopping completely up at times. To be honest, this wasn't very pleasant, but I got to the top in 33 minutes and had 470 meters in 1.7km. I skied down a longer slope that seemed to have more stable snow conditions and decided to go up this one the second time. So I put my skins back on and went up. Suddenly the sky cleared and the wind halted for a while. It was so different from my first time up I couldn't believe it. As I got closer to the top the wind got stronger, but it came from my right side instead of head on. This slope was 2.2km with the same elevation gain. I spent 34 minutes up.
I tried finding a good effort and I think I did. Maybe it was harder on the harder side. The conditions were terrible, to be honest. Snow was so inconsistent and the wind made it really tough.
