Of course I had to take advantage of this week's snow and take out the rock skis one more time. I headed to the Carey Lake trails and attempted to make my way down the Black Forest Trail. Well, that didn't get me very far as I soon encountered a large downed pine tree and a lot of water over the trail just beyond the tree. Now most normal people would have gone home at this point, but I headed to the Southern Lights Loop. What ensued could be best described as 65% snow skiing, 10% water skiing, 5% trail clearing, and 20% walking with long skis across leaves. Which adds up to 100% fun! While some of the trail looked like this.....

Other parts of the trail looked like this....

Not for most people, but it did feed my appitite for skiing one more, and probably one more last time for the season. Today it looks like I can get out biking.
