As you know by now we bagged the bounding Tuesday. With crusty snow on the hill it would have been more of a Hill-sledding effort. If you recall last year we missed the last session (Dec. 4Th) due to snow so that this snow is two weeks ahead of last years early date. That is so sweet. Next week bounding will be dependant on if the snow sticks. Baird's Creek has a north facing exposure making it hold snow longer. Check here next week.
In other news there is snow in the UP. Most trails are groomed and in good shape. Last Saturday the 22Nd we saw -7 degrees up north. Making most lakes freeze tight. In the next few days I will reconnoiter Barkhausen's ponds and look at other possibilities. Remember, anytime you ski on ice never go out farther than you are willing to fall in! For ski conditions throughout the Midwest go to Trail Reports at http://www.skinnyski.com/ . Check out the photo from Neguanee last week. They saw almost 20".
We are two weeks from the start of Birkie Class XVI. Are you ready? We will be sending out email blast starting a countdown of things to do as we get close. We have a couple spots left. See http://www.incompetition.com/ for info. Time to scrape the travel wax off the skis. I have a feeling that this time it's for real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGaMXZ1jpk&feature=related
