Out with the hounds. Still hard for them off the beaten path.

White Alert! We got snowsqualls, and it was skiable again in Kolapore.
Bash and I did the middle loop. Clouds and wind went down, and it became a bluebird day.
Waxing was tough though and conditions were highly variable, from good to no grip to iced up.

I tried the Strava loop at Mt Dhaulagiri. Last time I tried it Strava included stopped time waiting at the bottom. This time I had a very fast time going, despite tricky grip conditions, my collapsible pole collapsing 3x, and taking a minor spill on the way down. Sadly my watch turned off after the spill.

Too icy for Kolapore, so Classic at Highlands. Very windy and chilly. Fast on the icy bits, slow where blown in. My grip was good but wore off near the end climbing out of the Woolner loop.

Teal’s Tango, then back up the S-climb and a fast descent.

Out with the hounds. Some packed trail, lots of crust-busting.

Run commute. Ice in the woods, but getting slushy in the fields.

Late night run home- mix of post-holing and scratching on lumpy ice.

I let the Birthday Beast navigate a Tour de Venison, and the boys dragged me through all sorts of hidden back bowls and thick bush.

Breakable crust to start, then shiny ice in Palgrave East.

Howling winds means second drive to work this year.

Castle Glen with Bash. Spring conditions and my first time skiing there.
Nice area and trails!
