Good Afternoon Skiers,
Ah, another inch
of fine powder, temperature up into low 20's.
Slopes still a little tricky, you'll be
going along nicely, then crust will give way,
hard to keep balance. Still , a nice
surface to ski.
Went over to quarter-mile loop. Saw a
different snowmobile was on this side
of the road. Not a loopy guy, more exploratory.
He was here before the inch of powder fell,
so he made a nice broken trail,
if he went where I wanted.
Went back to try the downhill trail to the
lower clearing.
Snowmobile did too, so I skied next to his
track.
Was breezing along, spotted a new piece of
deadfall, suddenly airborne.
Faceplant !! complete with bloody
nose.
Now I have to get my glasses
straightened.
Got home, put on old glasses, looked in
mirror.
Less of a bloody nose than a facial
abrasion I guess.
Still, was a good ski, will try across the
road tomorrow.
Now it is trime to sink into the hot tub,
with a generous snifter of
that apple brandy i was gifted at
Christmas.
