The last snow man - Great XC Skiing in April 2009


So I'm pretty darn grumpy about this *^&(($#@ snow, but I must say it did deliver the best chance the southern Black Hills XC skiers have had to get out and play in recent history. With the after noon melt, the opportunity has been lost, but this mornings ski was quality stuff.

We live on the Mickelson Trail and it is rarely fit for skiing from my house. Today it was smooth sailing up to Crazy Horse. You gotta love the way snow covers up all the 'mistakes' of man. Shooshing over the top on the is a great way to spend a morning and definatly raised the spirits of anyone gloomy about the snow and cold...esp. when the sun comes out.

Another Black Hills Adventurer had a simular experience this winter...check out Lukes line.

I guess it all goes to show, there is an good time to be had in almost every weather.
