Fri 2/27 - PM 1:45 skiing

Area 51. Bookending the workweek with another visit to the refuge. Perhaps not looking forward to it quite as much as Monday but still the unquestioned highlight of the day. This despite tracks that are quite glazed and slippery in spots. Combined with skis that are rated above my weight this makes for less control and virtually no kick on anything resembling an uphill. Thankfully very little of that of course. Like Monday, I visited the pond although this time taking in the whole thing near the shore and on to the culvert from there. All the blowing snow made for some areas of very compacted snow in places on the pond surface, fairly smooth skiing in fact. Adductors more sore than expected afterward, from the slipping and sliding no doubt. Cold of course, with some wind but not as strong as some days recently.
