First ski

For the third year in a row, my first tracks were on the astroturf in the football stadium on Sunday. Nothing like skiing in circles for 2 hours...although by the end we had a good skate lane and "mid-season conditions." The turf is innocuous to the ski if you break through, you only need 0.5" to get a decent surface, and it's perfectly flat to help with the early season lack of balance.




Yesterday was too icy to ski, but a few more inches fell overnight, so we might be good to go again. Salmon Hills is also 100% open, which most likely means a weekend trip.
