Short - Splits

Training skiO course set by Adrian. Paired with Melanie and Allison and took different routes to each control, then stopped and discussed results. Good interval workout.

After lunch skate around Ruthie's with Stina. Then no pole around Duck Pond.

Groomed rock hard frozen granular and got enough loose for skiing in the fields and Pines. Looking forward to new snow Sat night.

Shoveled this morning to divert lingering water and filled in some bare patches on the trails.

Decided to ski elsewhere today, so Ruthie and I headed to Grafton. Had a man made loop in the field for 1/3 km, and rock hard natural and trucked snow on other trails. Not any better than home, but different.

Annoying they groom thin cover with a PistenBully and pull up lots of golf ball sized rocks to mix in with the snow. Stopped and tossed a dozen into the woods. They need to walk the trails in these conditions and clean up. Otherwise the rocks will still be in the mix when we get more snow and there is 6" cover, with a surprise grapefruit poking through. Just before closing the PistenBully headed out and I followed for 3 km. Best skiing all day, despite the rocks.

Persisted and got in enough to take me over 300 km so far this season. Very pleased with this, considering I spent the summer on crutches.

Down to 13F last night, so set up and ran some snow making to fill in a gap by the wood shed end of the field. Got okay coverage after an hour, by then the temp was up to 20 and the process became less efficient and stopped. So next it's grooming more of the frozen base from last week.

Skiing the fields and Pines with Ed. Lots of loops on granular snow.

Wall wgts x 100 rep standing on Bosu ball, one legged for some. Machines for the legs only, as arms were tired. Then worked with Trainer on hamstrings and glutes, some okay, some very difficult.
Gave them a donation towards a ski erg machine. Was planning on getting one anyway, might as well share it.

Froze hard overnight and groomed the Fields and Pines. Lots of loops, but chopped up granular was fast and fun.

Slow, wet conditions. Fields getting thin, Pines will be in good shape when it chills tonight. Explored some upper trails and seepage extends where I failed to ditch alongside the trails and stick in culverts. Will have to fix that or just get more reasonable winter weather.
