Evening ski at Gunstock with an intermittent headlamp. Must have been a HS race there this afternoon - some of the race trails were double tracked and showing signs of some heavy use on the uphills and the sharper corners. Brought back memories of my racing days - what I would have given for a trail in that good a shape - very different from a single set of tracks set by a couple of guys on snowshoes and the rest of the team behind banging in the tracks on skis in the morning so we could race on it in the afternoon.
Headlamp was decidedly unfriendly - would cut out just before asharp corner on a downhill each time it seemed. Had fresh recharged batteries in it - maybe it was too cold - upper teens doesn't seem that bad.
