Whitewater Nordic Center. Trails are steep - went anerobic a number of times. Good snow - grooming fair.

Run to bottom of race course for Tiivo race.

Heavy wet snow the night before. Black Jack groomed for the Loppet. Skied out Jeldness to Tramway to Torresons and back up Jeldness and Tims.

Heavy wet snow. 4"

Night skiing with Red Mountain Racers. Nice conditions - fluffy snow. Garth lent me his fat skis.

Hemlock Loop. Some new snow 1-2" with Gibbards not groomed and sinking in at Meadow. Weird weather with fog (5-6 ft of visibility) at Torresons and sun at the trail head. Eerie! All the way up Boomer with no Anerobic stop. Noticed crash with impact crater and blood pools on Hemlock - everybody allright just a split lip when I checked in at trailhead.

Another 6" of fluffy stuff last night. Red was a madhouse with everyone going out to get their "freshie". Dropped the kids off at the mountain and went to the Centennial trail head. Larry's Loop was nice - Miner's not packed from previous 3 storms so I abandoned after 100m. Down Centre Star to Musuem and then bact to Centennial. Nice run with sun coming out the last 10 minutes.

Yet again showshovelling. Another 6" last night. Upper body is getting tired.

Snow then rain all day yesterday. Last night temperatures dropped and everything is once again frozen. Good grooming and fast. Hemlock was not groomed. So Gibbard cabin circuit it was.
