With the boat put away for winter and the annual Arizona Christmas trip in the rear view mirror, the focus turns to winter sports. We had an early snow in Wisconsin this year and also got hit with a huge snowstorm while we were away in sunny Arizona. Needless to say, the ski conditions are epic. I decided to hit Lapham peak, a local world class Nordic ski facility just up the road in Delafield. I arrived early and saw this--
Normally this amount of traffic wouldn't be bad except this was early and to my dismay, the parking lot ended up being full before 9 AM! The crowd ended up not being a problem and the conditions were more than worth it.The next photo is taken from the NW corner of the lower loop.
This last shot is on the groomed trail just rounding the final turn back to the parking lot. After 5 miles of skating, I was wrecked. Plenty of room for improvement but plenty of time to improve as well. look for some Go Pro video in my next posts.
