Finally, I was able to get out for my first cross country ski of the season! I could not have ordered up a more perfect day: clear sky, bright sun, -7 C air, a fresh, fluffy dusting of snow on the well-groomed trail. The route which normally would take about 45 minutes took 2 hours! Every few strides I would have to stop, take in the magical surroundings and capture some of the scene with my camera. Lindor, my faithful chocolate lab/ski partner patiently gnawed on a piece of tree or darted in and out of the bush during the delays. It was absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful.

Here’s Looking at You
I couldn’t resist capturing this comical ‘face’ –
the spruce boughs strategically poking out.
Which Way?
Sandbar Ranger Park
Extreme Nordic Skiing
Sandbar Junior Ranger Park has great recreational trails. This year no grooming had been done (mid Jan) so we had to break trail. Yes, trailblazer Yvonne is wearing cross country skis! May as well have been snowshoes! It still was an awesome day to be out in ‘my backyard’.
Bonnie also took a turn out front while Lindor came back to check on me.
