The second time this year I stand on my cross country skis. The first time was the day before I was felled with a brochitis (probably related), and the second time, today, almost three weeks later. I went with my friend Paul, my lungs held out okay and we covered quite some ground. It was fun.
Part of the reason for this lack of skiing, is the weather. There is just not enough snow. It was barely enough today and every day one centimetre of snow evaporates because the air is cold and dry (the process is actually sublimation).
We really need a couple of feet more snow.
