We headed up to Downieville last weekend to visit Chad's mom, relax, and play in the snow. Luckily, there was still snow to play in on the higher north-facing slopes, despite the unseasonably warm temperatures earlier in the week.
Chad got in his first graceful-as-usual tele turns in, Nimue showed herself to be quite competent on her little cross-country skis, and I once again struggled against my downhill skiing muscle memory in a vain attempt to make the free-heel skiing thing work.
Nimue's the cutest, so she gets the airtime.
If you can't hear Nimue's comments in the background, the gist is: "What a nice day. I don't have any sit-on-butts. I'm having super fun today. I want to do it again tomorrow!"
My "real" (i.e. downhill) skiing commences during ski week in February. We're also spending some time in and around Downieville that week; I've resolved to rent A/T gear so I can actually ski in the backcountry rather than flailing on tele gear :)
