Pretty Icy!

 

Well we got snow.  But it is super icy up there now!  At the end of the storm the snow was soft and the skiing great.  By the next day everything had frozen solid and had 'fossilized' the ski and doggy tracks from the day before.

When I went up on Monday the dogs were sliding all over the place.  They would run and then keep on sliding when they tried to stop.  The skiing was awful.  At one point on the way down I somehow fell over and ended up on my back with my head pointed downhill.  I took off like a rocket and it was a little scary.  

So for yesterday's sunshine I took the dogs for a walk in the ice-free park instead.  That said, on Monday it sure was beautiful up there in the sunshine on the ice.

fossilized tracks

these tracks look pretty but represent frozen ruts to be avoided when skiing
