Since Fargo didn't have much snow, we drove to Maplelag resort on Saturday for a day ski. We explored Sap Run, sukkerbusk, and the North Loop. The trails had been groomed, though there were a few spots where the equipment kicked up some dirt. We were using our "rock skis" that already have lots of nicks and scratches in them, so no worries. It was a cloudy, warm day--about twenty above zero (F)--and midway through our ski, we saw a bit of sun breaking through the clouds. It was nice to be out for a couple of hours and also very nice to come back to some hot tea in a thermos in the car. One can now pay for a day pass online here.

On Sunday we woke up to snow floating down (as opposed to being blown about), so we waited until the afternoon and then went for a ski along the river in the fresh snow. The sun came out, it wasn't very windy, and the new snow was lovely. Enrico and I went together and then the boys skied together. Afterward we had soup made from the cherry tomatoes that I had thrown in the freezer when we had too many ripening at one time in the summer. I made a focaccia to go with it. Sometimes a simple soup supper after skiing is especially satisfying.
