This Saturday (yesterday) Erik, Kristi, and I headed up to cross country ski on the trails across the street from Cross Country Ski Headquarters. This ended up being a really nice location where we were able to ski ~7 miles on nicely groomed trails. There were even a few bigger (for me) hills where I got to play around with different techniques for climbing, snowplowing, and skiing down hills without tracks. It was really fun and makes me anxious for more skiable snow to fall in this area.
To split up the trip we drove to Kristi’s parents’ place in Frankenmuth on Friday night, stayed there, then drove up to Roscommon and the skiing on Saturday morning. This worked out very nicely, as it was nice to sleep in for a bit, get breakfast, and then go skiing as opposed to simply driving up and back in one day. We then headed back home-ward after eating a nice (but very filling) dinner of pasta-covered pizza (from Tiffany’s Food and Spirits), curry soup, and apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.
Here’s a few more photos from this trip:
· Riding in Kristi’s car (with Erik driving) heading up to Roscommon for XC skiing.
· Kristi and Erik looking at the wooden map for the R and L Trail Network across the street from Cross Country Ski Headquarters in Roscommon.
· Me / Steve on the Manitou loop after taking a photo of Erik and Kristi.
· Kristi showing an icicle that developed on the neoprene sleeve covering her CamelBak hose while skiing.
