Ski Report - sourthern Herkimer county - Sunday, 1/7/2008 Red wax today. Temp. about 5C. Got good kick with the red, but it slowed me down downhill. Snow was consolidated enough that breaking trail was as easy as following in a track. Snow is thin in some places but that's easy to avoid. Snow was so heavy there was no control going downhill, but, not to worry, no speed either. I did not go looking for a hill steep enough to kill me. Live to ski, not ski to die.
