Snowshoe long 2:30:00
shoes: Axis 930 Snowshoes
From the base of the Belknap Carriage road, up the W side of Gunstock to the summit, then across to Belknap, down the yellow trail to the top of the Carriage Road and back down.
A few folks had been up/down Gunstock, but no one had been over to the Summit of Belknap since the 2" of powder we got a couple days ago. Met one guy coming down the Blue Trail, from his tracks he'd come from Piper. Considered doing that as well, but was getting cold and the wiond was picking up.

XC Ski - Skate long 1:23:34 16.44 km (5:05 / km) +319m 4:38 / km
ahr:148 max:160 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis
Swapped to the Peltonens today - slapped on some LF7 which seemed to be ok.
Quite a few folks out today. Conditions pretty good, although some dirt did get pulled up by the groomer tracks in many locations.
Interesting how different people bail out on hills - on the big S curve coming down Cobble towards the downhill parking lot. A coupleo sets of tracks veering off into the soft power at the edge, then a churned up area from a face plant, the floundering to get feet back under and back onto the trail. The alternate, which some seemed to go for, was just plunk your butt/knee/whatever down in the middle of the trail, leave a big divot and ski off - someone else will fill it in for them, no big deal. :-(
Must have been working up a sweat. When I got back to the car, had a 3" icicle hanging from my hat just in front of my right ear.

XC Ski - Skate 44:00 [3] 7.9 km (5:34 / km)
ahr:142 max:159 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating
missed the shut off on the Garmin, so it kept going as I drove home, then kept timing overnight. Tried to download when I got home, but it looked like it had lost the workout. Workout was still underway however.
They've groomed out just about everything at Gunstock now, even did the short race loop on the back side of Cobble. Was cold and getting colder, and skis were slow - need to rewax.

Another Gunstock evening.
One other person out with a headlamp that I saw in the distance now and then.
GNA crew setting up the snow gun to start making another pile. Even with a storm projected for Wed - can always use some nice dense stuff to fill in the gaps where mother nature's contribution gets blown off, wears thin, or gets eaten by the sun.
Some DP work, and trying to V2 as much as possible in areas where I'd normally be dogging it.
