You know it's a good day if you get to bike and ski. I biked to school, then skied out back. It was like spring skiing this morning - clear, frosty and a thin crust of snow. Even the green poking out from was coated in frost so when the skis hit the grassy patches they still slid :)
Had a lovely 1/2 hour of just skiing all over our playing fields. So easy/fast. Love it. Then it all went mushy., and muddy so ski team practice was running and weights again.

It had to be done. Midnight ski. Snow globe snow had been coming down for about 2 hours. Sort of wet but quite a bit of it. Sure looked like winter. So despite the late hour I just had to get out there. Did a slow tour of the park in the dark with magical snowflakes swirling down. There is hope winter is coming. It was lovely.

Got out onto some school rock skis to check out the fields before class this morning. And it wasn't bad. Took some kids out at lunch time and we found a pretty good patch where the elementary kids had packed the snow down. We did a tour of the fields and then technique work on the packed patch. It was actually pretty good. The novices were even able to glide.

Grey day but not very cold and no wind. Probably should have roller skied but wanted to get onto trails. So I ran the maze of trails in behind Sarah's with the dogs. Kato and Jamie went crazy as usual when I arrrived - I always feel wanted when those dogs bolt out of the house and just about bowl me over with boundless enthusaism. It was a nice jog around several ponds and through maple bush etc.
