Energy level was definitely off this morning. Took some talking to get my self out the door, but I did it. Considered classic, but the only tube of blue klister I could find was in rough shape and very cold. Not mentally prepared for the struggle to get it onto skis. Stopped after about 10 seconds to stretch out - groin was immediately not happy, but got much better over time. Still little ability to maintain any decent level of work up a hill - lots of V1. Lots of other folks out today - some GNA stickers on cars, Bowdoin warmup jackets, some Holderness coaches, plus some family groups. Family of 5 - 1 toddler in a chariot, 2 in the 2-5 year-old range (?), hanging onto the back handle of the chariot and getting towed around - lots of smiles and giggles.
Gunstock on a Friday afternoon, at the start of the Christmas break. Wasn't crowded, but more rowdy kids in the mix. Snow guns going full blast - looks like they'll have more trails options open tomorrow and into next week.
