I checked the National Map Download to see what the latest was, and saw some pretty big chunks of lidar coverage have recently been added to both Colorado and Wyoming. But nothing right here. Yet.

Much chillier today, never made it to the freezing mark. But not bad out, because while there was wind, it had backed well off from yesterday, and the sun was out full. The trails were fast and frosty; the grooming left something to be desired with many ruts left over from yesterday. I skied for an hour and then ran for an hour--there was enough grittiness to the snow on the foot trails so that it wasn't slippery, even though it almost always seemed like it could be slippery. It wasn't easy running because the surface was very uneven and pockmarked because of the soft conditions yesterday. Lovely to be out even so. I came across several more trees that had blown down yesterday.

Could this be the last day of the season that doesn't make it above freezing?

Upon returning home, the obvious dinner choice was Calzone Gonzaga. The crucial ingredient that denotes this particular calzone is lots of finely diced jalapenos that should burst like tiny explosions with every bite. You really can't have too many if you want to Gonzaga like Spokane. I finished the calzone before Gonzaga finished USC, but to be fair, I was hungry.
