Snowshoe Running 50:06 5.56 km (9:01 / km) +82m 8:24 / km
slept:4.0 shoes: Salomon XR Crossmax CS pink/gr
Snowshoe run around Palgrave West, mostly breaking trail in heavy snow or following one set of soft tracks. I finished on Duffy's Lane, which is closed for the winter and has a snowmobile track, so it felt more like running than strength training.
Snowshoeing (Bushwhacking) 15:02 [2] 0.82 km (18:23 / km) +36m 15:04 / km
There was no way I was going to try to run while bushwhacking in soft snow and forest debris, especially after working so hard already!
Snowshoe Running 10:22 [3] 1.09 km (9:30 / km) +16m 8:51 / km
Final burst of energy when I emerged onto trails near our place. I'd expected to hike all the way home but I actually felt like running. Huh.

One of those lost days when the contractor who is supposed to arrive between 9 and 1 doesn't arrive until 2, and then the work takes 2 hours. On the bright side, I consumed a lot of Christmas chocolate while waiting around.

AdventureDog and I went bushwhacking (mostly) on snowshoes at sunset. We worked hard, especially up hills, but it was still molasses pace in all this beautiful powder. We stopped by Crash's place to say hi to her and her Mom, and "WOOFWOOFWOOF!!" to her dogs.
Sunsets make me think of Dad. He was an avid photographer and almost always finished his slide shows with a sunset. He would say, "As the sun sets slooooowly in the west...", and we knew the show was ending. Nice memories.

XC Skiing - Classic (Groomed Trail) 1:27:32 [3] 11.7 km (8.0 kph) +269m
slept:7.0
There's so much snow that 'Bent and I haven't been up to Highlands Nordic yet, even though we bought our memberships back in the spring. We've skied Palgrave a lot already but we haven't been to Albion Hills or Hockleycrest yet so we figured we might as well stay local.
I saw on Facebook that Dave Moule had trackset the Hockleycrest trails this morning so we headed over there. Glad we did! We only met one other couple, otherwise we had the trails all to ourselves. Spectacular weather, lots of snow and terrific views!

Deep snow family ski around Palgrave West with 'Bent, BazingaDog (on his skijoring harness) and AdventureDog. It was slow but fun and absolutely beautiful! Then 'Bent and I spent the rest of the day eating, visiting with friends and eating, drinking eating. 'Tis the season!

After getting snowed in yesterday, I had to go to town and buy food today. Also wine, Christmas presents, chocolate, dog kibble and more wine. And now it's snowing again.

Snowshoeing (Deep Powder) 55:00 [2] 2.86 km (19:15 / km) +87m 16:42 / km
slept:6.25 shoes: Salomon XA Pro GTX - Black
Snowshoeing in a blizzard - one of my favourite things! A lake effect snow squall system settled in for most of the day, dumping fluffy snow in our back yard for hours on end.
AdventureDog and I went bushwhacking through Palgrave West in deep snow. No plan, no intervals, just a lot of fun!
