Mt. Ste. Anne Day Deux

Yesterday afternoon the skiing was pretty awful in the mist and sleet with really squirrelly tracks that were very hard to ski in.  But, the real workout of the day was pushing a multitude of cars out of the unplowed parking lot.  Everyone got a good workout doing that.

This morning dawned a bit brighter with some sun poking through the clouds and freshly groomed trails.  However, once the CSU army started up Trail 33 we turned it into mashed potatos so it was a slog.  Up on race trail 22 the uphills were slow and the downhills a bit dicey.  I made a massive bathtub when my skis shot out from beneath me on the uphill after a fast downhill and Andrew Reed broke a ski when it apparently went into a moose hoof print.  Other than those misshaps it was a good 2 hour+ ski.  There is lots of snow here!  Things are firming up as more people get out on the trails, so this afternoon we will work on classic drills.
