Happy Holidays everyone! As many of you know, Mt. Ashland opened last week which is great news for snow lovers. I escaped the holiday happenings here in town last wednesday (the day before the mountain opened) and headed to the backside of Mt. A for some snowshoeing and a little cross country skiing. Conditions were great and I was the first one up there so I had the (mis)fortune of cutting trail...quite a workout. My intention was to make it out to Grouse Gap Shelter but unfortunately my broken toe(s) are slowing me down a bit right now so it was a pretty short outing. The good news is that they seem to be healing and it shouldn't be long before my boots are comfy enough to get out for a longer trek.

More good news for winter sports enthusiasts, the forcast is calling for more of the white stuff so get out there and enjoy.

Until the next adventure...
