Triathlon club made its annual ski trip to the mountains last weekend. Panorama was the destination and even though there hadn’t been snow in about two and a half weeks the combination of excellent weather (blue skies), good company and ski equipment I don’t mind skiing over gravel and bushes with made for a very fun weekend. The temperatures were well above zero both afternoons and the snow conditions were nice and soft, unfortunately this meant that early morning skiing and some of the groomed trails were icy disaster zones but for the most part we still had a good time. I skied mostly the top half of the mountain, running some of the same runs repeatedly once they were discovered by our group to capitalize on skiing where the snow was and keeping a positive attitude by not worrying about the patches between here and there that were a bit bare.
