Final load of firewood gratefully put away. The van was loaded to the gunwhales, and this time I had to haul the wood via 6x 200kg tobbogan loads around to the shed.

Wonderful ski out the back door with Bash and both beasts. Conditions have improved beyond borderline with a couple cm more snow.

Rehab and workout 2.

Easy tour of Palgrave East and West with Brody the Bazingadog. Big guy was nuts at first but laid back for the rest.

Just a short walk with the dogs due to appts. There’s nothing better than crisp squeaky snow, blue skies and no wind at -15.

Bah, cold #2, so rehab and some easy strength.

Easy 2-dog ski to work on a brilliant day. Wish I felt up to a longer ski.
Things got interesting when we saw a husky cross running on the trails as we crossed the road, with both dogs tied to me. All good, found owner and dogs got along fine.

Woo hoo, first ski to work!
Fluffy snow with no base so not ideal but I'll take it,with a few new scratches on my commuter beater skis.

Unfortunately I seem to have cold #2 just as the snow arrived. :(

I could have used some help, but the big guy wasn't in a mood to haul today.

Took it easy on the return too as I wasn’t feeling great.

Dashing through the snow with Brody the stop-and-sniff dog. On the way back we heard coyotes, then I saw eyes gleaming in my headlight heading my way. It turned out to be Sadie, followed by Skye and Crash. We escorted them home, as they were glad of my 90lb coyote repellent.

Note- glad I added the hobnails to the shoes.

More hauling, a lot more work without the wagon. Later I did fix the tire using tubeless bike tire tricks. (Soapy water and a strap around the tire).

Silver Creek with Logan, Contour and Storm, while the ladies ran with Scout for a while then she ran with us. Good run, some bits of solid pace for me.
