XC Ski - Skate 1:01:02 10.92 km (5:35 / km) +180m 5:10 / km
ahr:135 max:150 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis
Waterville Valley - Parked at the lot by Livermore Rd - then up Livermore Rd to Upper M Snow Trail to the summit. First couple of km was wet and slow, although my skis were running fairly well, a bit dryer higher up, but generally soft.
Coming down was a bit hairier at the top - it was such a grind going up, I didn't realize how much speed I'd pick up. Things were considerably slower again at the bottom, snow was pretty soggy.

XC Ski - Skate 1:33:34 15.76 km (5:56 / km) +322m 5:23 / km
ahr:135 max:151 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating
Quick lunch and change of skis to see how they run in this stuff.
Headed out the other way - Lower Osceola, up John Deer to Upper Osceola - coming back down Upper Osceola was another thrill - had stopped for a bit up top to rest and watch a chipmunk popping his head up from a hole repeatedly - but kept my legs moving enough that they didn't stiffen up.
Then over to Moose Run and Wicked Easy - hit each trail twice - once in each direction. Lapped some slightly older folks a couple times, stopped and chatted with them a bit.
Back down, then headed up Tripoli Rd a couple of km until my legs said enough. Gal with a US Team head band came swooping down just before I turned around. Things were cooler, crisper and faster the higher I got, which made for another exciting descent - tucked into the set tracks for part of it.
US Team Gal was coming back up as I got to the warmer and slower section - she had plenty of energy.
Quick out and back a short ways on Swans Way then the Pipeline Trail - legs were getting less and less happy, so headed back and called it a day.
2 1/2 hours skiing today - most I've done in quite a while.
