Snowshoeing 2:37:01 15.81 km (9:56 / km) +275m 9:08 / km
ahr:93 max:134 shoes: La Sportiva Uragano
Stars WAR with Storm. We had a good first hour then I rolled my right ankle pretty badly on a hidden log. It settled down, but crossing over into the East side of the map I rolled it again worse, and was slow bushwhacking after that.
We struggled for 11 minutes with one control in a valuable box with odd mapping, but mostly navigated pretty well together.
We came in 7 min late due to my slow pace.
We were second overall behind Bob and Luca.
Bash and Browner were 4th overall!

Kolapore South with Barb.
Taper ski, so we took the GoPro and worked on some beauty shots for an upcoming video. Good skiing conditions!

Kolapore before sunset. Conditions were better than I expected, although the base is thin. We did some bushwhacking to connect 2 trails that went better than expected.

XC Skiing 1:20:00 [3]
Woo hoo, breaking trail to work in deep snow. I left early, but didn’t allow for the part in town- the road plow had dumped all the snow on the sidewalk, in places piled diagonally against the railing up to mid-thigh. Quite the slog, jogging in that to make it on time.
Decent ski home but some drizzle had made a bit of a crust. Palgrave East hikers and a snowshoe-er had gone directly on my ski tracks and wiped them out, but Palgrave West was skiing in clean tracks. Oh well…

Running 1:00:00 [3]
To work on sheet ice (Rigged ropes for the steep ice chute), and back at night in pounding snow. Visibility was so bad I was glad AD knew the way!

Running 54:00 [3]

Commute with AD. Icy everywehre. I wanted to do the Rollercoaster but my spikes were inadequate.
Will rig a rope for the steep valley luge run.

Kolapore cruise with Bash. We went to the less rocky South half. Mostly decent with the odd rock or wet patch.

Classic at highlands on a blustery winter powder day. Yay! Met Al G on the back red and skied the rest of the lap with him. Great to catch up with one of the original Kolapore gang.

Bah- rainy and gusty, so just rings, dumbells and rehab in the basement.

Highlands. Fast good skating for most of if, but final climb up woolner and back was soft and slow.
Note- fun, but my knee had enough.

This may be our final Kolapore ski out the door for a while. We headed to the main trail but it was icy ruts and exposed rock, so we ended up bushwhack skiing on top of the reasonably firm crust. Explored lots of areas we can’t usually go.
It was just getting mushy when we got back.

Recovery ski at Highlands on the skin skis.
Faster than expected in the shade, but treacherously slow in the sun.
We missed the best morning skiing as I had a 2 hour zoom on a winter Sunday morning. Obviously not skiers!

ahr:114 max:160 shoes: Saucony Razor
SSR with Tarno. Realized the North map had more points/km than the South “runner’s” route so we headed there.
We and Storm Beowulf got messed up for 12 minutes with a control that had fallen down on Walk the Line, but otherwise had a reasonably good race. Mistakes were made, fun was had. We had to go right by a final Bingo control as the clock ran out.
We ended up 4th overall, 95 points behind first place (Erik K and Andrew), Mark and Jason, and Storm Beowulf so tight top 4.
Turned into a nice sunny day out- crusty snow over a fairly decent base- glad it wasn’t a week earlier.
Always good to race with Tarno. Bash and Jackie had a solid, efficient race too.

Run to work in melting lumpy crust and pelting rain at 0C. Living the dream...

Heavier rain, and slush everywhere, over the boots in places. Yuck.

Snowshoeing 1:40:00
Took Colonel B and AD for a tour of the hidden steep hills and valleys behind Palgrave East. He was fairly blown away by the terrain back there.

Solid run in on soft snow base.

Hiking 1:05:00 [1]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard
Hike home with the big guy in soggy melting snow and slush in spots. He’s on a mission when we commute, as opposed to lallygagging when we’re on a walk and return for home when he thinks he can do more.

XC Skiing 40:00 [3]
Nasty ski to work - alternating ice and dirt. Some breakable crust too. Not dangerous but unpleasant.
Still beats driving, but should have run in spikes.

Finished up the video of the tour Bash and I did last Monday. Got 4.5 minutes?

Out with Bash to remove the tree we started yesterday, then back down Paradise Hwy, up Wild Mouse and Kingsway then back on John’s portage and Jackrabbit. Bash drove the van home and I skied back via New Chute.
Warm and a bit sticky out- skin skis had spiderman grip but not great glide in the soft snow.

Bash and I guided some newer skiers on the moonlight ski into the KWT bonfire. Fine time had with friends around a roaring fire. Our NEOS worked very well.
Sadly tomorrow’s guests the H-G clan called in sick. The dogs will miss Aubrey especially.

Once the day warmed up and the gusts let up a bit, Bash and I skied over to Marc’s Folly. I tried to cut out a fallen maple and got part way though but my little folding saw would take at least an hour more. Will come back with bigger equipment.

Commute- full on blizzard for the return trip and power was out at the office just before I left.

Some rehab and lumberjack.
XC Skiing 48:00 [3]
Ski to work. Had to avoid F&M's loop, and skied on old tractor tracks all the way to ORT. Did some extra trail breaking to Humber Station, then back to work.
XC Skiing 30:00 [3]
Crisp moonlight ski home.
