skate ski 1:33:00 [3] 18.0 km (5:10 / km)
Back at the Balsams, lots of fresh snow, and we spent most of the morning following the groomer around on the newly groomed soft stuff, as he was doing laps and grooming all the trails 4 or 5 times...
skate ski 1:25:00 [3] 17.5 km (4:51 / km)
The groomer finally stopped in the afternoon, so it started to harden up a little. Towards the end we got attacked by a pack of ferocious grizzly bears and, in the process of fighting them off with nothing more than ski poles and granola bars, I broke one of my poles when they bit through it. Or I was skiing on a flat trail and fell over. Honestly I forget which.

skate ski 1:01:00 [3] 13.7 km (4:27 / km)
At Rangeley in Maine. A bunch of new snow, so everything was pretty soft as it had just been groomed in the morning.
skate ski 2:00:00 [3] 24.5 km (4:54 / km)
Things had hardened up by the afternoon, so Dad and I did a long skate lap around the place. Maybe twice.

skate ski 1:01:00 [3] 14.0 km (4:21 / km)
Some morning cruising around the nice frozen trails, plus a run up the hill along dad's fireroad of death. Not so bad going up...
skate ski 1:06:00 [3] 16.0 km (4:08 / km)
Warm afternoon, with lots of sun to soften up the ice chunks from the morning. We skied them down flat, and by the end it had gotten cold again, so I did a few speed laps around the fields (3:28)

skate ski 40:00 [3] 10.0 km (4:00 / km)
It stopped raining overnight and iced up pretty nicely. After a few trips around with the groomer (dad driving and me surfing on the drag as ballast), we got some good speedy laps in.
The hand is pretty much back to normal today. It doesn't really hurt at all anymore, and I can see my knuckles again. Close enough to call it fixed.

skate ski 1:32:00 [3] 24.0 km (3:50 / km)
started with the map holder and another tiny-font page from Time, finished that up and switched with dad for a map, but it was getting dark by then. So did a few more just skiing.

skate ski 1:02:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:12 / km)
Around Dad's fields in the dark, in the rain. A little slow as everything was soaked through, but still not too bad.
