It rained yesterday, and the day before. Actually, it has
been raining all week. Why am I skiing today? Actually, why am I skiing tonight?
Headlamp skinning is fun and all, but the snow will be interesting.
That it was. One inch of snow on rock. Last night, I learned
what rock skis really are. The rock skis that I have back in Colorado look brand
new compared with the ones I was using last night. I wore my helmet not because
I thought I was going to hit a tree, but because I thought I was going to hit a
rock so hard that I was going to fly over the handlebars and hit my head. I could literally only see two feet
ahead with my headlamp.
Bombing down the trail over streams, the temps dropped so
quickly that about halfway down we weren’t moving so well, had to kick
off our skis, and de-ice. Pro.
