classic ski (Highlands) 1:10:00 [3] 10.0 km (7:00 / km)
What a day!! It was like a crisp, bright mid-winter day with lots of snow and lots of sunshine. Cold to start and stayed clear and dry all day. Awesome. Goose and I did a very civilized steady classic ski in decent tracks. Chanse had been able to groom the green, first and second fingers, flat 500 and back orange. And it was lovely:). I tried my skins since I thought it was going to trickier waxing but I could've been on my good skis. The skins were a bit slippy at first until I found the pocket and my technique improved.
skate ski (Highlands) 1:50:00 [3] 20.0 km (5:30 / km)
After some lunch Goose and I set out on skate skis in sparkling snow. It was equally awesome. Repeated the upper loops a few times, did a few legs only, did some double poling - all with a big smile on my face just like everyone else who was up there enjoying some fine early season skiing. Lots of snow, lots of sunshine, no wind. Sweet.
