Nice ski at Elm Creek with Susan. Tried different pair of clssic boots. Skiing is so much more fun when to boot isn't digging into your achilles with each stride.

Crunches - push ups - squats

Skied the Lake - Eagle Creek - Northern Lights loop at Elm Creek. It wasn't as chilly as I thought so I was a bit over dressed.

squats, push ups, crunches

I forgot all the beauty the erg has to offer until I jumped on one again last night. First 5 minutes were brutal but settled into a swing.
6179 meters

Elm Creek with Susan. Skied the Lake/Eagle Creek/Northern Lights loop then another Lake/Northern Lights loop with a man made loop at the end.
The snow is much better in the north metro than south. The tracks ranged from excellent to just ok.
An eagle circled above us at the junction of the Lake/Eagle Creek trail. About 3km down the trail I came across a clump of feathers in the snow right next to the trail there were clear talon marks and a wing print in the deeper snow.

I didn't plan to do intervals but picked up the pace to stay ahead of skaters.

Hyland ski with Susan and Dori. THe tracks were in better shape than I anticipated. Thanks to the dusting of snow, I wasn't skiing on glare ice.

Pulled Rena in the Chariot with Laura and Steve. Caught up to J and J on the Star Loop and raced to the chalet.

Evening run with Laura to Ford and back home.

Jasper was the bullrider.

Great ski from Wirth to Uptown for pizza and beer to celebrate Stephen's birthday.
