Just because I hadn’t done it yet, and it was going to be a nice day, yesterday I skinned up the ski out at Sunshine Village with Finn in the Chariot. Had a hot chocolate in the sun in the Village (I don’t recommend the Java Lift hot chocolates unless you’re only after an expensive sugar fix). It was gorgeous up there, and there’s still so! much! snow! Then skied back down again.
Skiing back down again was an exercise in snow-ploughing. Never before has one girl snow-ploughed so hard for so long. When we’re back country it’s usually not too much of an issue, with less people and lots of snow. And because the ski out is a road in Summer, it’s just slightly off-camber most of the way down. I’d never really noticed before, but with the Chariot behind me, wanting to dive off to the left all the time, it was all of a sudden very obvious.
And then there was an excursion to Vermillion Lakes to look at the Canada Geese. They didn’t eat us. This time.
