| Long ski...went out and did entire lap of the Loppet trail skiing from the apt, North to all the North trails at Wirth and skiing Butler, Bog, Brownie and a full lap of Cedar Lake before heading back North to the apartment....went easy and slow, single sticking the big hills, but it felt pretty hard anyway after 2 hours....guess I need to ski some longer stuff to minimize the suffering at the Birkie and other races....
perhaps my cold did not help either.....
with this workout I matched last year hours.... |

| one big loop at Hyland with Kari...the track around the lake was totally washed out but the other trails had great conditions.....still shaking off a cold and it seems I have relapsed a bit but with this snow and these conditions I refuse to take it easy.....Kari has really improved her technique and speed...today she made her Norwegian acestors proud as it seemed to be really clicking for her.... |

| skied from our apt across Wirth Lake and did an easy Public Gardens to Front nine and back loop back to our apts....I can now walk across the Parkway and double pole 30 meters to the trails West of Wirth Lake.....with the good conditions I've decided to put in some good snow time the next week to set me up for the ski marathons on my schedule.....perhaps if I get in decent skiing shape they will not hurt as much his year.....on a related note, I am 5 hours from matching last years training hours....very consistant without really trying.... |

| one of those memorable epic skis....on the way back home, on Christmas day, Kari and I stopped off at Banning state park (right off I 35) for a quick ski on the classic only trails...after the recent snows the conditions were perfect and the scene amazing with snow covering the trees....we skied some groomed double track and some skied in single track down by a snowy river that included a few hole shots through a tunnel of low hanging branches that Kari excelled at...the recent snows have set us up nicely and our "Ski to Uptown" looks promising with about 12? people looking to make ski there way to the beer in Uptown......
and Happy Holidays Everyone!!....

| ...while Kari prepared Klub (a norwegian potato dumpling dish) for the family, I snuck out to the Superior Municipal Forest after a 10" snow to continue my buffet of trail sampling before the norwegian food buffet...found some great skied in tracks, did 3 loops and got home in time for dinner at 5pm.... |
