XC Ski - Skate 1:00:06 10.34 km (5:49 / km) +231m 5:14 / km
ahr:129 max:156 shoes: Atomic Red Cheetahs
Call from Ernst got me out the door. Conditions warmer and softer than yesterday - tried my newest skis as I was warming up - felt OK, although I'm not positive what wax I have on them. Didn't get below freezing overnight, they'd groomed many of the trails with the big cat and Neal was out on the snowmobile dragging the ginzu.
Got out and about - skis were slow and the engine was sputtering. Ernst on the other hand was smooth, relaxed and fast.
Struggling up the hills, not enough glide, working too hard and feeling the effects.
Hit most of the fun hills before I called it a day - felt bad abandoning Ernst so he could go explore and have fun.

ahr:138 max:154 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis
Morning ski at Gunstock before things warmed up too much - great snow cover still. Softening up where the sun was hitting it, but still firm in the shade, particularly sections that hadn't been groomed overnight.
Spectacularly fast on some of the downhills - tremendous fun.

XC Ski - Classic 1:07:24 10.06 km (6:42 / km) +200m 6:06 / km
ahr:135 max:151 shoes: '07 Fischer Classic White-Yell
The heck with the 4" of new snow on the driveway, it's time to go skiing. Epic conditions - recent 12" snowfall well groomed underneath, tracks well set - perfect for classic. Blue Extra over the Blue and other stuff already on my skis - worked great.
Not the only one out there - met a group of 4 headlamps, followed shortly by another, then one poor dude way out on the furthest S end, walking back in, skis in hand - binding problem.
