Last Observatory Mesa loop run. Definitely the snowiest it's been. Snowy trail running takes concentration and lots of balance muscles! Especially when it's part icy like it was today.

Saw fat-tire bike buddy and a lady running with 3 dogs. One seemed terrified of me.

We are packing up a storm. Nearly there...

Skiing up to and a bit beyond the Secret Valley. Fat tire bike man coming up the FUTS at me again as I descended. Snow is pretty icy in places where trees have dripped or that have seen any sun. Nice to be able to ski essentially from our appartment!!

Secret valley + Basha's run. Needed some greens and bananas to complement our attempt to eat everything up out of our apartment in the next few days...

Everyone was out playing in the snow! Amazing! After a bunch of packing + chores, headed up to Mars Hill and skied around. Was nicer in other people's tracks. The one time I broke trail, snow just clumped up under the skis. They need waxing, clearly. Cold is getting better, but throat still feels kinda raw.

Wahoo!! We woke up 3 times overnight to the sound of Santa out grooming the trails, but meant we had amazing freshly-groomed trails to ski on for Christmas! Skied back a longer way than the way out with our slightly-lighter packs. Chill pace, felt better cold-wise than yesterday at least, and very nice to not be skiing in a white-out!
