Note
Basically a repeat of yesterday up at Happy Jack, except that it felt like it was a tad colder, and definitely windier. Maybe not a full blown ground blizzard in the parking lot, but working towards it; most skiers were hunched over and many were guarding their faces as they walked across the lot. So fine!
Despite all that, the snow actually felt faster to me today, and I felt pretty good for the 2 1/2 hours I was out. I saw 2 bull moose at very close range on one of the trails. They weren't interested in yielding the trail for me, and I was even less interested in trying to press through them, and so it was a standoff. Eventually they got bored and moved on off. I also saw a Graham B, though the first time I saw him, I didn't recognize him (he was moving too fast to be recognizable as anything but a blur of arms and legs.) Trails were impeccably groomed.
Should start gradually warming up for the next few days, but for now I will concentrate on enjoying the proper winter conditions while they last!
