Conditions aren't really conducive to riding, so I skied Hartman's solo again yesterday. Here's a
few photos I snapped between waves of brutal wind and blowing snow. It was really cold when these
little cells would blow through, but then pretty nice between waves. I was out for a couple of
hours breaking trail through the new snow we've had the last couple of days. Hard work even on the
parts where it isn't blown in up to my waist! This is the most snow Hartman's has actually held
for several years. Usually it melts off pretty quickly because the rocks radiate so much warmth -
but not this year. I even made a few awkward skinny ski tele turns on the way back to the front.
That was fun.
