Skiing at Highlands with Bash and Coach LD. Bash sent LD and me on ahead, and let's just say I kept up, and leave it at that.
Actually, LD gave me the tip I was missing to extend my kick stroke, which helped a lot. We skied on the trails a fair bit, but also did some screaming fast crust cruising. Met up with Bash part way, and LD gave us all a good tour of the farm fields in the area- free-range skate skiing at its best.
