Woo hoo, Highlands has decent conditions! Gorgeous bluebird day, nice spring skiing.

After a bit of early fiddling my wax was good for the full lap they have open. Lots of good fast sections with nice kick in shade, a few other places I had to waddle up the hills or just double pole. Things were softening up by the end and I headed back. Should have put on my waxless skis for another loop.

Out with and without the dogs in beautiful snowy sunny conditions. Riding was great before things thawed.

Clearing some maple and oak trees that fell across the trail, old-school.

Rode to work with AD. Enough snow over the ice for traction and fairly decent riding. We went back in a heavy flurry of wet snow, via singletrack, pretty good but still too icy near the rockpiles. Met a happy rider with spiked 4.8” tires.

Short K-bash detour too where the riding is fine.

Neck is still nasty- I couldn’t last 2 seconds on an upright bike right now.

Threw my neck out at work so only a light paddle.

Borderline conditions with rock skis, but a lot nicer than running on ice. Looks like winter too!

Night ski home. Had to hike-a-ski the open sections as it had melted a bit too much, but the bits with ice base were fine. Won’t ski tomorrow though.

Run in with the big guy and back the longer way.

Run in with AD.

Run with Gally, Logie and Bazingadog. We went up Switchbacks and did a loop of Lorree. I had it easier with the big boy on harness, at least on the uphills. He was challenging on the downhills if Gally got out front.

Logie tried him out on the top of Loree for a bit. Nice run in the THABC ‘hood.
