Ski to the Sea





The days may be getting longer and spring time blues are in the air, but winter is not dead yet! The last few days we have enjoyed sun and day time highs in the 20's with little wind. Good snow cover. I'm happy.

Today I drove with Gregg, Lisa, John Mahoney and new KIMA doctor Jeremy Larsen over the pass to the Red Cloud River for a cross country ski to the sea. We started at the bridge and skiied down the river and through the cottonwood trees to the corner of Anton Larsen Bay. There is 2 to 3 feet of snow in the woods and it looks like we will be skiing at sea level for a while yet. The bay is nicely frozen over. Conditions were a little crusty, but once we had a track broken in it was quite pleasant. You can certainly see from John Mahoney's expression that someone is happy with the conditions.
