skate ski (Highlands) 1:45:00 [3] 14.0 km (7:30 / km)
Got up to Highlands in time to sneak in a skate on pristine corduroy before meeting kids for practice. Fast conditions, blue ski and brilliant sun:) Then met some skiers for uphill/offset work and up to do some hills. They crushed me. Good workout.
skate ski (Teal's Tango) 40:00 [3] 6.5 km (6:09 / km)
Flat easy skate twice around Teal's Tango. Once with the Viking's 6 yr-old son Magnus and then once by myself. Crazy wind from the southwest kept filling on the tracks, and making weird drifts.
1 PM
classic ski (lessons) 2:00:00 [1] 5.0 km (24:00 / km)
Fun lessons out in the sun with some nice adults. Managed to get around Teal's Tango again with one group
4 PM
skate ski (sweep) 1:00:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:00 / km)
Too nice to not ski more so I did a "sweep" ski around the main trails. And of course there were people still out on the trails, heading further out after 4:30 and mad when asked to head down. Such entitlement - and they weren't young, they were my age:(

hiking (6th St extension) 1:15:00 [3] 6.5 km (11:32 / km)
Another uninspiring, bleak, grey, wet morning. Sort of rain, sort of sleet for a while. Lots of wind, just above zero. Goose and I hiked up the 6th St. hill and it was a bit icy underfoot , got snowier near the top and then it snowed big fat flakes:). Looking like we'll be back to skiing tomorrow.

x-fit (gym) 1:00:00 [3]
Gross, grey, wet, soggy, foggy day. Yuck.
Day for the gym. The "Nooner" workout at Active Life. It was excellent with lots of different stability/strength exercises, agility, and ropes.

classic ski (lessons) 2:00:00 [3] 4.0 km (30:00 / km)
Very small kids today, gr.3. Challenging but fun, in the sun:). Bit too warm by afternoon. It got a little mushy.
3 PM
skate ski (Highlands) 2:00:00 [3] 24.0 km (5:00 / km)
After the classes my adult lesson got cancelled so I went off into the sunshine on slightly sloppy snow . The shady spots were getting frosty again and faster but when you came out into a sunny spot it was like seat cushion foam. I bit it going down the quarry loop when I hit very warm soft snow and did quite a face plant.
After that it started to cool down in the shady spots and was getting icy and fast by the time I finished. Fun:) Sadly, rain is forecast for tomorrow.:(

classic ski (lessons) 4:00:00 [3] 5.0 km (48:00 / km)
A lot of kids, not a lot of fitness or physical skills but nice kids. And the conditions were great. The green was a challenge for most.
3 PM
skate ski (Highlands) 55:00 [3] 12.0 km (4:35 / km)
After a greyish morning with some damp fine snow, the afternoon broke into a bright blue sunny one! Soooo nice:)
Got in a rip around the trails after elementary school lessons all day. The conditions were excellent, the snow was pretty fast and it was lovely to see and feel the sun.!

dance (gym) 1:00:00 [3]
Dragged Connie O with me to a dance class. Hoping to delay dementia by moving to music. It does tax the brain! So fun.

skate ski (lessons) 2:00:00 [3] 7.0 km (17:09 / km)
2 lessons. 1 family of beginners - didn't get too far but learned enough to get around the green
1 group of 4 young women, every athletic and fit so it went well. Worked on Teal's Tango. A bit soft as the warm temps made things a little mushy

3 PM
skate ski (Highlands) 2:00:00 [3] 23.0 km (5:13 / km)
Went out for a full tour after lessons. The snow had started to harden up and glaze over again so it was faster than earlier but skittery.
Nice way to end the day
