A snowstorm is in progress - timing is good as we have a rest day scheduled. The Swedes reported that the groomer has been going around, so good time to go for a loop. Not having studied the map extensively, I tried to avoid tough climbs, but ended up doing the opposite to avoid backtracking. So I did the groomed loop counter clockwise which was silly. But weddeling down the gentle slope on the fields was just fabulous and made it all worthwhile.
(Towards Greensboro,then Gray's drive, Atherthon, and back to the Lodge)

An afternoon ski on my klistered-up Xiums out on the Highland Lodge trails. Did not feel like going to the shed and prep skis. I had klister from who knows when - it provided excellent kick, but after a while got me sticking. So it was mostly just kick and glide with very little double poling - just like at home. Sun came out a bit and temperature started to drop - a winter wonderland with sparkling new snow.
