We didn't travel to Aunt Belinda and Uncle Doug's farmstead in Minnesota for Christmas as planned this year because a big storm is forecast. Freezing rain is expected, which means no travel, so after breakfast, I proposed that we all go for a ski along the river before the rain starts. The temperature was still under freezing, so I waxed up the skis with purple wax. Noko was very excited to go with us. Alex and I took skate skis and I hitched up to Noko. The trail that had been rolled last week was quite degraded. There was dirt and grass showing through, and what little snow we had was rock hard, so I took Noko on it. He couldn't possibly make the trail any worse (usually we go on the classic trail we make for ourselves and leave the groomed trails for the public). He LOVED it. He loved being on the hard trail, he loved being with the whole family, and he just ran and ran and ran as hard as he could. We had a great time. Here are a few pictures.
