XC Ski (Back Country) 1:07:00 [2] 5.9 km (11:21 / km) +180m 9:51 / km
Inaugural outing for my backcountry skiis, which I thought I wouldn't get to use until next winter.
Went up to the top trails on the N side of Cobble. Was initally worried about too much speed coming down hill, but the very warm conditions and the heavy crust kept things well cunder control. Had to double pole to get down hill.
Putzed around on some of the new sections for a bit, a lot of slash and not enough snow to cover it completely, so ended up going around the remainder of the Cobble loop. A couple of folks had been out prior to me, 2 on snowshoes and someone on skiis, so I wasn't breaking track for most of it. An enjoyable time.
