No Sniveling Ski Tour

Recovery complete and feeling very energetic,  I a went on a quick solo ski tour today.

A chance to get out, stretch the legs and get some activity in this weekend.

Backcountry skiing does not need many miles to feel like something was accomplished.

I did the class ~6 mile CMC Ski Trail – Little Raven loop ( I did the loop in reverse from the link. I enjoy the downhill on the road).

Being smarter in my older age, I went up later in the day. As expected, most of the day crowds had left. Since I was solo, I could do the tour in less than three-hours.

No need to get there early, deal with my fellow weekend warriors on the road and grumble about the crowds I am adding to. 🙂

There was time enough to enjoy the scenery of winter and even tweak a gear setup I was curious to try out.

It was beautiful, just cold enough to be bracing, not windy and the snow was pretty good.

A wonderful quick ski tour.

There is beer in the fridge. Dinner is cooking. And I am already thinking about what I want to do over Christmas.

Having four days off, I feel so energetic. A lot personal tasks were accomplished and the ideas are flowing forth.  Makes me realize how much energy I put into my day job. It is not so much the work (I enjoy the problem solving aspect of IT work quite a bit, actually), it is the day-to-day drudgery that goes with any job in a large organization at times. I don’t need to expound upon it. Sadly, most of us are familiar with it. 🙂

So it goes.

We’ll see what 2016 brings…
