It was warm this morning, but the trail was firm and a bit icy in spots. The early light makes it easy to get an hourlong ski in before work. The skate trail was a bit rutted in spots that got a lot of sun yesterday, and the city has dug a trench from the water treatment plant to the river, so one has to step gingerly over that, but mostly the trail is hard and fast. It was just lovely! I saw one other skier (classic), two runners, and no bikers. Two Canadian geese flew by. A cloudy sky, dirty snow, the bridge raised in anticipation of the coming flood--all signs that the end of the ski season is coming. But just maybe the clouds will protect the base today and we can sleep to ski another day.
