Wanted to get some distance in today in preparation for many things, but most notably, eating Christmas cookies. Yes, off to a cookie exchange party tomorrow and one can never be too prepared.
Most the trails were in excellent shape once again. The man-made snow in the stadium area was a little icy, but once out of the crowds (there was an Alberta Cup race on), it was smoother sailing and there was usually nobody else in sight. Well, except for that cute mule deer...
I was pretty bagged by the end of this ski. But not too tired to lick the almond buttercream icing off my mixer beaters!
