XC skiing (mapping) 1:53:00 [2] 6.2 km (18:14 / km) +50m 17:31 / km
My first attempt at GPS mapping on skis, in Ridgewood. Started in at usual place (first driveway) and got a variety of fixed points (knolls, rootstocks, ride) wandering west. Then did trail to houses, then trail and woods road to west and back. Then skied around the big marsh, sometimes in woods and sometimes in the marsh (thin alder). Finally cruised gradually downhill through the woods to starting point. Lovely off-trail skiing much of the time. These really are "go anywhere" woods for skiing. Can't wait to run them in spring - if it ever comes. Lots of terrain detail yet to be mapped. Snow still about a foot deep almost everywhere, though covered with lots of litter. Temp about 38F, overcast. My trusty Jofa no-wax "rock skis" that Donn Springer got at the Dover MA dump years ago, are perfect for this. .
