Skate ski at Goldbar. After having skied at Sovereign for several days, Goldbar sucks more than usual. Like, it really really sucks. Still plenty of snow, though. The 30k this weekend should be awesome.

Jogged back from Lumby to the house. Mostly just on the road and not very hard.

First, we climbed straight up behind my dad's house. It was mostly up, tried to run as much as could. We eventually got to a point where the snow crust was deep enough that I'd break through the crust and totally scrape up my shins on the really sharp snow. So, we aborted back down to the house and went for another 45 minutes on the road.

Another ski at Sovereign Lake. A really nice day, sunny and etc. At first the wax wasn't working when it was warm and glazed, but as we went around and got higher it significantly improved. Did the the lower race trails, then around on Prince of Wales then up to the top of Silver Star Mountain and back the other side. No idea the distance.

Did a solid 8 hours of snowboarding at Silver Star. After having spent many many weeks at Silver Star in the past, this was the first time that I actually went downhill skiing. Spent the first few hours skiing with the M-Kitty and her friends, but then they all left and I was by myself, so it was quite as exciting. Found some nice powder in the trees on the double blacks, and never had to wait in line for a lift. I was also very pleased to have put Performance red on my board before leaving, I had way better glide than everyone, awesome.

Legs feel like I've just done 8 hours of calf raises.

Classic ski at Sovereign Lake, up to the top of Silver Star and back down. Chilly-ish weather, but good kick and brutally slow glide. A little bit of fresh snow was the culprit for that.
