Mtn Bike 1:57:15 20.43 km (5:44 / km) +282m 5:22 / km
ahr:123 max:145 shoes: Reid Hercules Green bike
Nice ride around exploring the sno-mo trails. Their wide groomer leaves a smooth surface - that set up nice and firm - perfect traction for fat bike tires. Where sno-mo tracks had chewed it up a bit, was more likely to scrub out - made for tough uphills and sketchy fast downhill corners. As it got warmer and things softened up a bit the corners and uphills got tougher.
Saw just a few folks out on their machines; was expecting more as nice as it was out.

Downhill Ski 1:15:00 [1]
Didn't get out early enough for the first tracks session - summit lift opens an hour early for seasons pass holders, with hot chocolate served as you get on the chair at the base.
Still wasn't too crowded when I got there about 9:15. Got in enough runs that my legs were happy. Next to last run was down Hotshot - is left ungroomed so it was a mix of uneven moguls, glare ice, hard crust on the upper half, which is also very steep. Made it down - not always gracefully, but in one piece.
Might try it again if we get a good dump of snow that would cover up the ice, but this stretches my ability and nerves.
Good times...

Nice conditions - refueled after downhill skiing for a few hours. Had enough energy and conditions were good.
Not many folks out, which was surprising.

Cold evening run at RV Farm. Quite a bit of this on the narrow bike trails. While some were just snowshoed in (which had set up quite nicely), some had been groomed with a snowdog - very short track snow machine in front with the operator on an articulated platform just behind. Grooms about a 20" wide track that sets up nice and firm. Great for fat bikes and for running with studded shoes.
