Snowed in at Star Lake

There is about 2 feet now of snow on the golf course at Star Lake.  The past two days we have just skated on it and packed as we skied it.  Today I really wanted to get it groomed but had some issues with parts missing from the groomer.  I sorted it out by the afternoon and Star Lake is now groomed, should be excellent skiing tommorow and through next week.

Christmas Cookies!






We had the women's team over for annual cookie decorating.  We usually have the entire team over but the women's team has gotten so big we left the boys out.  They will probably still get to eat some of the cookies though, and I will have to come up with a tradition for the boys, maybe holiday van cleaning or something else that would be really cool.
We skied at Star Lake today and will probably be going there through the weekend as probably the only place with more snow is the Tug Hill plateau and given the academic strains that trip is only a last resort for getting on snow at this point.  Assuming all goes well we should be able to get Star Lake groomed early tomorrow morning in time for our workout, with about 6inches to a foot on the golf course there it should be great.
