For our last day of cross country skiing we head out very far North, because it is supposed to be cold there. Unfortunately it turns out there is much less snow there that in the region more to the South. But it is too late to go back so we go out on the trails anyway. The major trials are indeed very icy, but when we take the difficult trails that go steep up (and down) the hills the snow is sufficient and barely threaded. On one trail we are even the first in 5 days or so and we have to break trail. Only some animals have gone here before. We don’t know what kind of animal though. The tracks are to small for a bear so may be it was a wolf or just a feral dog. Anyway we enjoy the skiing, even (or especially) the adrenaline inducing descent.
