Think I missed the wax - not a lot of kick. It was warming up, some of the tracks were glazed a bit, others were still dry powder. Got a lot of workout on my arms.

Must have been having a good time though.

Hit most of the upper Cobble Mtn trails - they were in pretty good shape, although the center of the trail was a lot softer than the edges where the snocat tracks had packed it down.

After classic skiing for an horu and 45 minutes, took a short break, changed my boots and slapped on my back country skis.

Headed up Alpine Ridge from the ski jumps, and went up, and up, and up...

Groomer had been through on all of the trail up to the towers. Continued on along the ridge that had only seen snowshoe traffic and a few skiers. Just past the cutoff for the snowshoe only trail, it really narrowed down - branches almost touching and many covered with snow sagging down to about face level. Saw more folks than I expected to up there.

Came down a wide groomed trail from the radio tower - no face plants, but a couple of preemptive backwards falls.
