Most people think of spring as flowers popping up, soil starting to smell alive, buds on trees, bird songs, and their world is turning green. I think of spring as warmer days, a huge blue sky, a night sky full of stars, shorter hours of darkness, longer days of sunshine, sea ice starting to break up, and the best of all SPRING SKIING! What skiers wait for all year are glorious days full of great skiing, all under a HUGE blue sky!
Today was one of those days! We went out for a nice ski. I have been gone the last two weekends at ski races. I got home last night and started the wash, ate dinner, hit the shower, and then a sound sleep in my bed. Today we were up and out skiing on the touring gear after copious amounts of coffee. Christian didn't want to groom which was fine with me. We all had a great ski together!

| In the far distance is sea ice. It is broken up and moving about these days. The skiing is stellar. We skied today in almost no wind and under a huge blue sky--life is perfect! |
