Great ski on the Humber from the Goosenest to Duffy's Lane with LD and Bash. We stayed on the river virtually the whole way, skirting around open bits. Saw lots of interesting tracks.
Finally just enough fresh pow to ski. -28 windchill, blowing snow, now that's more like it! Hard crust underneath so too treacherous for skijoring, but a gorgeous day out in the Charlevoix woods.
Totally worth the coughing after. Guess my lungs aren't fixed yet.
Where's the snow? I was hoping to ski to work.
Another run in on crusty trails. Bazingadog could have been leashed with a piece of string as he trotted along.
On the way home in a couple cm of fresh snow, he was a lot more enthusiastic and enegetic.

Excellent night bushwhack with Bash. More fun than yoga- and my knee has been a touch dicey but fine for this. No coyote howls right in my ear this time.
Foothab, Kneehab, full Link workout.
Feeling the knee a bit after a lot of leg work.

Gorgeous bluebird day out- did some extra bushwhacking and singletrack.
We just need a couple of cm more to ski!

Night run home solo. Beautiful calm clear moonlit night. I heard coyotes howling in the distance, then some went off quite nearby. Never heard them that close before. I turned my light to high power but didn't see any eyes.
I have to confess I did break off and carry a baseball-bat sized branch for the rest of the run.

Snowshoe out with Bash to meet the C3 crowd. From there, I took Bechtel and BYG out on a backcountry tour of Palgrave East with their 2 well behaved dogs Quinn and Bernie.
Bechtel was on shoes with Katoola spikes, so we gave him a solid workout off-trail, but he really schooled me on the Singletrack later. Guess that's what happens when you're an Xterra champ and multiple Canadian Triathlete of the Year.
After that I got a ride home with BYG and Quinn, then harnessed up the big guy for some hardcore hills and Quest For Deer bushwhacking in the deep dark areas south of Palgrave West.
Finished up by hauling a load of logs in.
Fantastic time out on a sparking winter day even if it's not skiable.
