When I arrived at Mt. Ashwabay, there was no car in the lot. From looking at the trail, there hadn't been anyone out before me, either. Could it be because of the -22 °C? Well, I was dressed for the conditions though I had to forget about the goggles pretty quickly. Kept them on, in the visor position, which I thin, deflected some of the wind. I did a straightforward route, deciding against the Deerpath trek around Mt. Ashwabay, because of its remoteness. Instead, Anchor-Seagull-Northern Lights-Lower Sugarbush-Abby Rd. Once I got going, I warmed up quickly. My left thumb got painfully cold when I stopped for a pic, didn't even remove gloves and mittens. Luckily, the thumb warmed up quickly again. When I got on the home stretch, I saw that at least one other skier was now out, fresh tracks. Then we encountered a skijorer and his dog, looked like the dog rather wanted to return to the car. Of note: had icicles growing on my eyebrows!
