-2.3 °C; Snow Forgot to turn Garmin back on after putting Roux on lead beyond the bumpy downhill at the start. Would have been another 2.5 km for a total of 10 km. The little guy was pulling well today! We skijored to the Nourse sugar shack, decided to do the loop to the trail split twice because of the snafu with the timer. took a wrong turn which I thought was another ski trail but realized it was part of the CAMBA MTB trail system, which had been rolled. Roux was glad to be back at the car and I continued for a quick skate ski.

-1.8 °C; Snow Did Sugarbush-Anchor-Seagull-Swiss Miss-Anchor-Sugarbush. The wind was howling, especially on top of the downhill area, open to the NE, from where the wind is blowing. The trails were all rolled, the climb up Seagull was actually the widest I've ever seen it. Wonder if this is only an early season impression. But it was bumpy and soft, but no complaints. After today's storm totals (30-40 cm expected) have been compacted, trails will be in awesome shape. There is a new trail section cutting off part of Anchor, if one is so inclined. Has a couple of nice hairpins.
