Mary and I made a bounce trip to the cabin – up on Friday
and back on Sunday ‑ for what we believe to be the last ski of the winter. A long, snowy winter it has been. When we arrived on April 19th there was still
24” inches on the ground. We were thrilled to be able to ski in late April and
what an appropriate way to spend the Earth Day weekend.
We skied 4.4 miles on the Three Eagle Trail Saturday, and on
Sunday morning, 2.74 miles on the Land O’ Lakes trail that also goes into the
Sylvania Wilderness. Before leaving Sunday we dug the trailer out of the snow
beside the driveway.
Goodbye to a great winter. Going in to the season I was not
sure I would be able to ski following last year’s knee injury. As it turned
out, I skied the most ever, 233 miles in 61 outings. When we left on the 21st,
we were certain we were leaving snow for the season. Of course, we thought that
4 weeks ago the last time we headed south.
