Yesterday I took advantage of the fresh snow to go cross country skiing in the Upper Buskin River area. I skied down to the river and followed it upstream and into the canyon at the headwaters. I got all the way to the waterfall for the first time in 3 years.
I had one funny moment at the start of my journey up the river. The new snow disguised some very thin ice and I fell straight through. There I was standing in shin deep water with my skis on the rocky bottom. After that I learned not to trust the really big flat areas of new ice, and stuck to the lumpy bumpy old stuff along the sides.
Good ski Patrick
