XC Skiing - Classic 2:00:00 [3]
The plan had been to ski here on the new snow that was supposed to fall overnight, but that didn't come to pass. So... 'Bent, Knobless and I made a last minute plan to drive up to Highlands Nordic for a fun classic ski. After slipping around a few days ago in slightly cooler temperatures, I went crazy with the wax and was punished as soon as we gained a little altitude. One of my skis was sticking, but the other one would slide, which led to a couple of dangerous moments and one good crash. So I did a bunch of scraping, and my wax was perfect after that! Great snow, excellent company, nice scenery, not too crowded once we got away from the chalet area.
On the way out, we ran into Coach LD and Goose with a busload of their high school skiers playing a form of tag where you only wear one ski. I'm sure if I'd spent my teen years doing stuff like that, I'd be a much better skier now!
Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best for 2010.

Snowshoeing (Logged @ 50%) 30:00 [1]
Fun New Year's Eve snowshoe around the wilds of Palgrave West with 'Bent, Slowrunner, Goose and Coach LD. The "blue" moon lit our way, shining through a layer of cloud. Perfect way to see out 2009 and celebrate the 20th anniversary of when 'Bent and I started dating. :-)
No friends of ours would be satisfied without tacking on a little strength workout, and tonight was no exception. Our old TV, which weighs just under 200 lb, needed to get from our basement (via toboggan) into the van for a drive to Bolton, then through a narrow door and down a stairway to land on a TV stand at the Goose Nest. There were some nervous moments but all went well. The line of the night belonged to Slowrunner: "You couldn't have given them a coffee maker?"
