Took the waxless skis out in the corn field with Richelle and Allison on the track that Dad had just skied in for us. Allison had never skied and Richelle had skied once or twice ever, so they were both super new. I gave them as many tips as they could handle at this point, and they were very happy with the instruction. We stopped and talked a lot. Just some fun with 3 laps around the field. I made a second track next to the other one so I could talk to whoever I was skiing next to.

Another 7 laps around the field on my own after the girls went in. I forgot to measure the first one, but I got the next 6 so I could estimate distance. Meh, not the best skiing, but I got a workout in. Was getting really hungry toward the end, so I suffered a bit, but I had to get in an even total of 10 laps.

Looked at my waxless skis afterward, though and they were TORN UP. Glad I didn't take even my "B" skis out and still kind of bummed that they were so damaged. I didn't even hit any rocks - just some bits of corn stalks that were under the track.
