XC Skiing 2:20:00 [3]
slept:10.0
Don't know why we never thought of this before, but Bent and I followed a suggestion to ski the perimeter of the Kukagami trail system, i.e. each time we hit a trail intersection, we turned right. It made for a fun and different ski, with lots of hills.
We also went out before dinner for a brief ski to the top of the Porcupine Lookout, where we could see several kilometers of Kukagami Lake glowing in the warm late afternoon light.
Snowshoeing 1:00:00 [2]
Snowshoeing with Bent and BulletDog. This was a valiant effort to tire out BulletDog in hopes that she won't mind being left behind when we ski on the trackset trails where she is generally not allowed. Unfortunately, the more we try to tire her out, the fitter she gets!
The forest was sun-dappled and magical - like being inside a Group of Seven painting. We had to be careful to avoid the low-hanging branches of coniferous trees, which had a tendency to release avalanches of fine powder snow down the backs of our jacket necks.
XC Skiing 31:00 [2]
Heron Trail under a full moon. Not my top pace, since I was well-fuelled with port, camembert, hot mulled wine, lasagna, fresh-baked bread, salad, cherry cobbler and mint tea... :-)
Then back to the cabin to teach myself Sudoku by candlelight.
