classic ski (Highlands) 1:00:00 [3] 11.0 km (5:27 / km)
Beauty day on the escarpment! Blue, blue skies no real wind and balmy temps of -14>--11! Despite the hard ice lurking just below the snow conditions stood up for the day quite well. I spent the morning instructing at "Ladies' Day" with adult beginners at classic skiing. It was great to have 5 keen women at a time with such positive attitudes, so willing to learn:). The delicious lunch that followed made it well worth volunteering to instruct.
Then I had my wee chipmunks for an hour. So cute!
By then I was feeling sunburnt and knackered. I got out for my own ski but it wasn't very fast. The conditions were pretty skittery after 2 days of skiers pushing the snow off the ice but there was just enough to get down safely.
