The snow continues to be excellent at Lapham Peak State Park. More snow is expected tomorrow night. This has certainly been a much better winter for skiers than the last two years.

I saw a few serious diagonal-striders this evening. I generally feel like the only fit classic skier left. Usually I am endlessly passed by fast skaters with brightly colored equipment, brightly colored aerodynamic clothing, and aerodynamic bodies and I pass the occasional person in cotton pants and a big puffy coat shuffling along at a painfully slow pace. Apparently there was a classic-technique race planned and the serious skiers were out. It is good to see what proper technique looks like, which I rarely get to see. Clearly, I need skate skis.
