10 AM

XC Skiing 1:28:32 [3] 9.45 km (6.4 kph) +127m

Castle Glen with Bash. Spring conditions and my first time skiing there.
Nice area and trails!

Saturday Feb 27, 2021 #

Out with D, Bash and 5 dogs.
1 PM

XC Skiing 1:55:00 [3] 16.5 km (8.6 kph) +222m

South loop after the north was so fast Thursday.
Odd conditions- very grippy and slow in the open, fast.
I went hard in a few sections to see what Strava says but it mostly included my waiting times at the end of the sections, so AP moving time was several minutes faster per section.

Friday Feb 26, 2021 #

Snowshoeing 30:00 [2]

Out crust breaking with Bash and the boys.
9 AM

XC ski-Skate 1:24:00 [3] 20.48 km (14.6 kph) +1854m

Scenic with Gally, and parts with the ladies.

Crust-busting stomp with the dogs.
3 PM

XC Skiing 1:20:48 [3] 7.82 km (5.8 kph) +142m

Ski with Bash. Trails are hard and fast, and even the easier route we chose was tricky.

Wednesday Feb 24, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:45:00 [3]

Pre-work ski with the dogs, then commute in soggy mashed-potatoes snow at 5c. Boots wet from post-holing when I take off my skis to cross roads.
Night ski home in blowing snow at -1 and icy conditions.

Tuesday Feb 23, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:12:00 [3]

I was expecting a fast commute but yesterdays soft tracks melted, shrunk and froze narrower than my skis, so Palgrave West was slow grabby going while Palgrave East was quick skittering on hard crust.
Soft slow slog home.

Monday Feb 22, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:10:00 [3]

Commute, breaking trail in deep powder to work, and heavy soft wet snow for the return.

Sunday Feb 21, 2021 #

10 AM

XC Skiing 2:07:08 [3] 15.27 km (7.2 kph) +336m

North West Passage with Bash. Yet another stellar day!
Skin skis were good, even though one iced up in the last sunny meadow.

Saturday Feb 20, 2021 #

XC Skiing 2:00:00 [3]

Easy loop with Bash and D. Glad I dragged myself off the post-ski couch!
9 AM

XC Skiing 3:04:08 [3] 21.33 km (7.0 kph) +472m

Kolapore with Tarno. This time we went on Quest for Downhills. Tarno is a former champion downhill racer, and loved the longer more technical descents.

90% different trails than last time.

Snowshoeing 45:00 [3] 4.04 km (11:08 / km) +5m 11:04 / km

A couple of outings with the 3 dogs, who were floundering in deep powder.

Out with Bash, and took the GoPro this time. Tons of snow!

Thursday Feb 18, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:10:00 [3]

Commute via rollercoaster, but it’s all stomped in now.

Wednesday Feb 17, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:40:00 [3]

Great conditions for a skijor with the boys in fresh tracks, then a commute to work via the Rollercoaster.

Late night commute.

Tuesday Feb 16, 2021 #

XC Skiing 45:00 [3]

Breaking trail in shin-deep pow on my commute.

XC Skiing 40:00 [3]

Home via Rollercoaster.
My morning tracks were hiked in, so I broke another trail far to the other side.
Tired!

Monday Feb 15, 2021 #

9 AM

XC Skiing 2:50:19 [3] 20.92 km (7.4 kph) +362m

Big loop wirh Tarno. We were breaking trail in shin-deep powder for half the trail. Yet another astounding winter wonderland day!
For a skate skiier who did 45K yesterday Tarno was pretty fresh.





Met 5 groups of people, including the Spence clan, Goose and the Highlanders, Ms Gally’s group, and another was our friends Bruce, Val and Richard.

Late afternoon loop with Bash over to Marc’s Folly.

Sunday Feb 14, 2021 #

Snowshoeing 1:00:00 [0]

The Tiny clan are getting my adventure van, and came up to winter wonderland to pick it up. And snowshoe, toboggan, and sit distanced around the fire pit (which is about 1M deep right now).

I upgraded to AWD hybrid- sick of waiting for plug-in van we can charge via renewable power.

XC Skiing 2:55:00 [3] 25.06 km (8.6 kph) +476m

Adventures With Bob Part 2
I’d promised Bob a full tour of Kolapore some day. We did the big outer loop including Northwest Passage. We could have done more but the Bobmobile wouldn’t start so we got a bit delayed. -15 C forecast but no wind, blue skies- yet *another* perfect day.
Bob was on waxless rec skis while my Kolapore Crawlers had great wax, so we were pretty well matched.

I think I can put together at least a 40k epic loop with virtually no repetition.

10 AM

XC Skiing 2:25:00 [3] 15.26 km (6.3 kph) +322m

Monday Feb 1, 2021 #

XC Skiing 1:00:00 [3]

Commute. Nice for the first km, but hardpack for the rest. Even skated a bit in Palgrave East.
