Excellent spring ski adventures!

 This has been one of the better springs for getting out to ski in the past few years. This post features recent romps at Boundary Road Trails and other locations.  Starring spring skiing and birds!

Do you know how scary this is for a puppy?
Dolly creeps across the first few feet of the
bridge, then sprints the rest of the way....she could
fall off and into the raging torrent below, ya know!

Getting to look like spring. Recent ice storms
really stripped off the pine boughs and needles.

Corn snow made for surprisingly good skiing.
This was in Churning Rapids.


On the way to the trail, we stopped by
to checkout the CG cutter, Hollyhock.
She was tied up at Lilly Pond.

Oh! We even got to meet a friendly crew member.


Earlier this week, we realized we'd not yet skied 
through the cemetery in Hancock. As you can see,
they've plowed the road ahead of the melt, so we
hoofed it up to the top.

Plenty of snow up here!

The 2-leggeds used klister-like wax on their old rock
skis. Worked great!

While skiing around Mud Lake, we were
serenaded by the Sand Hill Cranes which
nest here each year. Sure sound of spring!

Whee! Oh wait, glide was pretty slow today.

Finally we spied them....surprisingly, there were three
Sand Hill Cranes. Mom, Dad, and yearling??
