| Still icy, but did it today with full crampons. Nice traction. Somewhat awkward with them on the o-shoes. Boots would be more stable, but California mountain shoes might be better yet. |

| Another try up the hill, this time with ski poles. Trip up not too bad, but still skiddy on the way down. Discovered later I'm missing a few key studs in my o-shoes. Next time it's with full crampons! |

| X-C Skiing 7:00 [3]1 km (7:00 / km) | |
| |
| Enough flurries that I thought skiing might be possible. However, need another 1/2" or so to build up a significant base. Then I can attack it with the groomer, or at least try again with the skis. Right now it's still too much grass. |
Sunday Jan 21 |
| X-C Skiing (Ole's Ski Center) 3:00:00 [3]26 km (6:55 / km) | |
| |
| Up north a little bit where they seem to have picked up some snow. Not much more than 6-8", but enough to get the well-tended trails in business. Solid hard pack surface for good skating. Temp very cold overnight, and snow during day was probably only 0-10F; made for slow glide.
Said they had 25 km open, but I did it all twice and the GPS only says 26 km. So maybe I really only did it once, or the satellites moved around too much.
One easy loop with Ruthie, then another by myself.
