'Bent and I did the Kolapore Middle Loop clockwise with a side trip up Mt. Dhaulagiri. We had 12-15 cm of fresh snow from squalls this morning, which revived the ski conditions nicely but got sticky as the temperature warmed up. I had to stop to scrape my skis five times but at this time of year, we can't complain. It's all good!

Shannon Miller's birthday party, Covid-style: a few women on classic skis in Castle Glen at night with a stop for shots on a hill top. It was fun and the hills were extra adventurous in the dark since some of the trails have branches and saplings that slap skiers in the face unexpectedly. Great chats with actual, live humans. The stars were gorgeous.



I thought one of my Suunto Ambit3 watches had a broken barometric altimeter so I switched to the other watch last weekend. It provided believable numbers until tonight when it said we skied 2800 meters of vertical. Now I'm back to blaming the stupid new Suunto app. One of the reasons I invested in multiple Suunto watches was the accurate altimeter but Garmin is looking better and better.
