Chilly morning. Only lift line that gets long is the Panorama lift to the summit. Pistol just to the left has more kids/teens goofing on the terrain park, so I normally don't ski much on that side. Tiger on the far right has more vertical and advanced trails, even if GSC has a trail blocked for races or training.

Double layer facemask day, which increases the likelihood that my glasses fog up, but mostly when standing in the lift line with the breeze blowing in the wrong direction.

Back at Carye Woods

Hadn't done the Orange yet - still had some energy after the morning downhill ski session and was feeling I needed to get my heart rate up.
Chilly, especially on the warmup jog with the wind coming across the Beans and Greens fields. Brought 2 layers of long sleeve shirts, extra gloves and a dry hat to change into at the finish.

Pretty good run. Tried to be honest in my route choices - select based on what the map said, not what I remember from wandering around here mapping. Couple of legs go through some rockier sections - at least it felt like I was rock hopping proportionately more than on the Green or Brown courses. However, with the slight snow cover, many of the hollows between the rocks were snow/crust filled, so it was better than it would be in summer. Also, with no ferns sticking up, footing was very visible instead of a great unknown under a knee high sea of green fern tops.
GOt better at pulling my phone out on the approach into each control, half pull off my right glove so I could hit the 'scan' button on the touch screen with a bare thumb or forefinger - didn't have the forethought to wear glove with the special finger tips.

Glad I'd brought dry stuff to the finish to change into for the slower jog back to the truck.

Light snow falling - on the chilly side.

Weeks Woods double-9 loop. Cold, dark, icy, great fun.
