Skate skiing 1:06:03 4.19 mi (15:46 / mi) +184m 13:52 / mi
At Trapp Family - drove up with Beth & dogs, left 0600. Around 40F & windy at 9a arrival. Got some temp appropriate yellow fluoro wax from Jim A. Saw Coach at one point where I elected to remove my skis - took maybe a minute to get them back on. Not a good idea to take off - groove in boots fills with packed snow, map holder doesn't allow easy access to "ground floor" & maybe balance issue chipping in too.
Saw Larry B for a few points, could not keep pace with him either. Then Sharon came by - at one point, the 3 of us were standing at a control - an easy 105 yrs of 'hanging out' with O. Really quite tired by finish, napped in car for about 50' then drove off to Burlington. Mediocre technique & no surprise. Needs work & more work, might have stayed for clinic but low on energy - spitting rain fm a gray sky not motivating either.

Skate skiing 1:00:00 4.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
SPS, windy, 20F. Snow blowing across fields everywhere. From NHH at 2:30, really thought a nap was in order but went to find some lee at SPS & had a good time. Groomed hard pack (lots of rain last night) with most 2" dry snow on top. Also, some in woods off trail & a short spin on snow-covered artificial turf (turned up looking for spring most likely). No one in sight - everything untracked.

Classic skiing 1:10:08 [2] 3.52 mi (19:55 / mi) +51m 19:04 / mi
Classic from end of Hope La. Hadn't thot of skiing home, picking car up later but better than out & back. Warm/pleasant. Fair amount of snow mobile trails but also straight thru woods for quite a bit, too. Saw the good, the bad & the ugly. Bad & ugly is Peasley development "progress" - houses growing like weeds, large ones at that. And once a quiet wood, exchanged for 3 car garages & much more. Creeps shot up the BOS sign we put up in December. Didn't like what it said.... Also, some straight-thru-the-woods snowmobiling. Push all of them over the cliff. Otherwise, we had a very nice ski.

Skate skiing 30:00 3.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
SPS crust. Sampled too soft at first but found better near the groomer shed & eventually returned to track area - pretty good at noon hour, tho it was 11a old time. Light to 7 now. Cold is on the run - still in sight tho - but night cough is largely gone. Each of the past several mornings, it's been clear blue sky, not New England-like.
