Thu 2/19 - PM 90 minutes skiing

Area 51. Despairing of where to go for a run when I decided it was worth checking out the refuge to see if ski tracks had been established since the weekend storm. Of course they had, shouldn't have let the depth of the snowpack make me think otherwise. A huge relief as I can get some exercise without risking life and limb or do mind-numbing laps or back and forth. The good feelings weren't diminished by the cold and windy conditions or even by breaking a pole about an hour in which left me monopoling the rest of the way.
