Super ski with Mumsy up from P19 and around the Taylor Lake loop. Sunny and -5 with most of the trail groomed this morning. Probably the longest continuous ski this winter. Adductors a bit sore but otherwise felt great.

Lovely ski at Nakkertok with Mumsy. Sunny and +2 and good tracks. Glo borrowed waxless (Atomic skins) skis and liked them. My glide was a bit better than hers but not very much. And my soft wax filled up with debris so much I had to stop and scrape and touch up the wax half-way around. Now, do we spend $600 for a pair of skis we would only use a half-dozen times a season?

Revelstoke loop with a side trek down to the river. First walk in +temperatures in a long time.

Nice weather but the ice was very skateworn so I never got into a nice rhythm or glide. Might be the last skate as it warms up - finally!

Good brisk walk around Revelstoke with Mumsy. Only -6, felt like spring!

Nice skate in -9C weather. Hip was very stiff starting out but it felt good after warming up. Aiming for the 60 minute barrier but I fell about 500m from the end. Snow was falling and hiding those damn pressure cracks.
Will try again on Thursday.
