Two different ski sessions, two types of skiing and two times of winter fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first session was solo at 6am with the temperature at -3f. I slipped out and was the first skier to hit the trails on the cold morning. I was working on my skate skiing. I’d go from moments when it seemed to be going well to frustration over not being able to get into the rhythm.  I know it was only my second session so I’m trying to not get too discouraged.  I also read later that colder temps make the snow slower so that made me feel a little better! I spent some more time on the flat sections doing an extra loop and going out wider to get more practice on the flats since the hills are pretty much horrible and I’m walking up them.  I did do the full loop and trudged up all the hills.  I only saw 3 other people while I was out there! <\/p>\n

I ended up with 6.5k total skiing in about 56 minutes. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second session was with the kids. I thought they might cancel lessons, but there was no wind and the temp was about 10f and sunny. It ended up being great weather for skiing. I’m not confident enough on the skate skis yet so I used my classic ones. Nadia snapped her pole during the warmup! Caleb didn’t want to give up his poles, but he did when she was struggling on one of the uphills. After warming up we went out and did the normal loop that they’ve been doing and Nadia did great on all the downhills!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After finishing the first loop we stopped for gummy bears and then the class split into kids who wanted to play games and those who wanted to ski more. Caleb doesn’t like the games so we went for another loop. When we got to the Meadow it was just us and a father\/daughter pair so we decided to finish the full loop up there instead of going straight back.  This added some good hills.  I ended the lessons with 5k on the GPS.  So the kids did an excellent job of not giving up and enjoying the downhills! <\/p>\n
