Ski Trail

For the first December since 2000, we've had a good snowfall in Minnesota. For the last couple of weekends, I've been able to go cross country skiing. There is more snow scheduled for this weekend, but unfortunately, this week the temperatures have been hovering around 30 degrees, so we've lost the good base that we've had.

The sketch at left comes from a ski trail around Sucker Lake, which is within a few miles from our house. The morning I went skiing with a friend, the temperature was -7 degrees, but the skiing had us both sweating within a few minutes.
