XC Skiing (Classic) 1:13:00 [3]
I packed up my backpack with Christmas deliveries for five neighbours on our block of land - a borrowed book that I was returning, a photo CD for VO2Max, a card for Crash, etc. With the deep snow and new snow falling fast, even the trails were slow. I bushwhacked halfway to the Russells' place, which made it almost a 30-minute ski from our house. The hot cookies fresh from the oven made it well worth it! Then back to VO2Max's place for a brief visit. It was headlamp time by then, and I bushwhacked much of the way to Crash's place in the dark, then took trails to the Belusas' and Wiegards' places. 'Bent and I met in our yard coming from two different directions in the snowstorm. A very cool almost-Christmas outing. Wish it wasn't going to rain tomorrow.
