Pre-turkey time outing. Gilford Elementary, up the Benjamin Weeks trail to the Ridge trail to the summit of Gunstock. Much chillier up top than at the bottom, with some breeze coming across the ridge. Blowing snow up top - had to warm up my phone to keep it from turning off as I snapped a few pictures.
A dog and his human appeared just as I was ready to head back down - they'd come up the Overlook trail.

And the run down. Nothing like a nice downhill run once properly warmed up to make an old guy feel likes there's still some speed in the legs.
Saw another couple shortly before the flats near the top of the Tiger lift.
One face plant when bottom of my shoe snagged on a rock, glad I had on gloves. Downhill face plants tend to be more dramatic than uphill ones - more speed and a larger angle to rotate the upper body through before contact is made with the ground. Minor scrape on the forearms, gloves kept my palms from being embedded with gravel.
