It was beautiful up on the escarpment with the trees all coated with silvery ice, but not great for the trails because it meant there were a lot of branches and sticks. Mrs. Huet and I skied a couple of loops on skins and stopped often to pick up sticks. A crew had been up on Sunday but as the ice melts more branches pop off and fall, plus some branches are heavily weighted and are so bowed over they will break eventually if the ice doesn't melt off. Bit sad. But the snow is beautiful.

We switched over to skate skis and went up and did some more loops. The back red and Hawberry aren't cleared of trees and so are ungroomed and not open. It meant repeating the same loops but it was more fun to do that with a ski buddy than alone and we did a legs only section and some balance work, as well as continuing to pick up sticks.
