Yesterday I learned an important lesson. When the sun is strong and reflecting off of the snow it is important to wear a hat. As I was leaving the car I realized immediately that I had forgotten my baseball cap. But I did have sunglasses and figured that would be enough. Anyway last night after skiing my forehead was beet red and very sun burnt. I have been applying the juice from my aloe plants and that has been working pretty well. I do not like to put sunscreen on my forehead because it always runs with my sweat and makes my eyes sting. So yeah, I am not going to forget the hat again.
It was a spectacular day on the snow and I did a couple of very long runs. There was a light breeze to keep me cool and it felt like I could see forever. The mountains on the Alaska Peninsula were very clear in the far distance, and Cape Douglas is 75 miles away.
