Skiing with Sam and Presto at Hammond Hill! We decided to head back to Hammond Hill this weekend to ski all the trails we didn't make it to last weekend. This was an excellent choice as the snow was fantastic! Presto was also really excited to be out for a fun day outside, so it was pretty great all around.
It was snowing lightly when we started skiing, but while we were there, the snow cleared up and the sun actually came out, which is kind of astounding. We skied up Yellow 1 to the Green trails. The Green trails were AWESOME, although they did involve quite a bit of breaking trail. Going down a looooong downhill first isn't exactly my favorite direction to do the uphill/downhill order, but it was super nice to be out in the snowy woods without having to worry about other people for a while. We then came back up the hill and skied over to the Red trails, which were also super nice. My skis had basically no wax on them by this point, so it was pretty slow going, but still lots of fun. I was getting pretty tired by the time we were back on Yellow 5, but it was still a really nice ski back to the car. Fun, fun!
