Its gross outside. Rainy snowing, and the trails are a couple inches of totally saturated slop.

An inch or so of new snow, just enough to cover the rocks. We're supposed to get a big storm this weekend, but its also supposed to warm up a bunch so the middle part of it will probably be rain. Boo. We just have to hope that the amount of new snow is more than the amount washed out by the rain.

Long ski day. Snow was crunchy fast, and most of the rocky patches are now well defined, so you at least know where they are. Cold out (low 30s), so the snow stayed in good shape even when I finished at 2pm. Had 3 GUs (on the hours) and a bottle of water, which definitely wasn't enough, I was starving by 2:40 and 3:40, and started to get pretty tired and chilly for the last hour.

In other news, the shoe log says the 2011 Fischer ski-o sacrifice skis hit 2000 miles yesterday, which I'll say is pretty impressive for any piece of gear destined to hold my body weight through the ski-o related abuse I put it through.

Morning ski with Jonathan around TD. The tracks were a little dodgy for the dp, since the skate lane is only a couple inches deep, and the tracks are even closer to the rocks.

Hill climb day with Jonis, up to the top of the mountain. Trails were in a little better shape today, as everyone has picked out most of the loose rocks that popped up.
