Good Afternoon XCkiers, Lotsa good snow out there now. Somebody 'biled my field !! One big loop around the field to west of hedgerow. Two people or same guy went around twice. Put on skis to test out tracks made by snowshoes last few days. Temperature at 16F, figured wax was ok. Kicked my way through six-foot drifts up to hedgerow. Other side not bad at all, especially in snowshoe track. About 3/4 down first hill on 1/4 mile loop, came on snowmobile track. Saw it made big loop around back of field, not going my way but better to ski than snowshoe track, Very nice, good kick, long glide. All the way back out to where it went into road. Monte was not ready to go in so I was very ready to do loop again. 1/4 mile loop inside it, figue about another 1/3 mile. After second loop Monte ready to go in, did another lap without Monte, nice and fast. Went over on east side of hedgerow, snow was deeper, could still glide if going downhill. Came back up on snowshoe track, think I could use better kick now. Remember you can opt out of this mailig list anytime. Happy Trails, Skishark 0\/0
