Cross-Country Skiing (Skate) 1:30:00 [3] 11.0 km (8:11 / km)
Skate skiing with Sam and Presto at Tahoe XC! We were planning on heading up to the mountains for the entire weekend, but I-80 was closed when we checked Friday evening, so we decided to wait until Sunday. I-80 was open today, but barely, with chain control starting at 2000 feet... I have never driven so far with chains on before. Anyway, it took a very rumbly eternity, but we did make it up in time to get a bit of skiing in today. The snow was AMAZING and there is SO MUCH SNOW!!!!!
The trails were groomed in the morning, so there was like 6 inches of fresh snow on them, which made things a bit more challenging. Also, I haven't skated in 2 years, so I was feeling pretty out of shape, but it was still super fun. We did Blue and then headed back out to hit up Special Green before we had to scurry back to return the skis. Presto was having an absolute blast and, of course, Sam was quite thrilled with things, so all in all we were a happy bunch :-).

Stretching 10:00 [3]
Normal stretching at the motel after a second driving odyssey. Turns out not all chains are good enough for all chain controls...so we ended up driving to highway 267 and then getting turned around to head back the way we came and go around on 89. We may be investing in some more hardcore chains.
