Kolapore main loop with Bash. Skied with my heavy touring gear and full CSM Gold camp pack. Broke lots of trail in the first third, but surprisingly good conditions for the most part, considering the recent rain. New Chute was quick!
Fast and slick to work, very icy night ski home with some tracks that melted and refroze narrower than my skis and would randomly grab. Tricky and slow with a full CSM camping load.
Short Skijor fail with the big guy. He was Bazingadog for the first 2 minutes, but after a bit I had to unclip him so he wouldn't trip me up as he trotted slowly in my tracks. He was in no mood to break trail, but was excellent if slower company off leash.

Ski home plus extra, in a mix of slushy and icy conditions. Crown skis +full CSM Gold camping pack and gear.
Easy ski with Timato, MsTiny and not-so-Teeny. The latter did great on Southern Crossing, Quiet Pastures and Jackrabbit! She’s solid on the downhills too. Later, fireside beer and pizza (from Later Pizza) and tobogganing. First mild day in weeks.
Dogs joined us by the bonfire. So nice to have the big guy roaming free with us. He wasn’t leaving pizza to run off through neck-deep snow.
